On your terminal:
then look for the "Defaults" text inside the configuration file, if you can't find one, insert the line of texts below to you end part of your sudoers file.

Defaults passwd_timeout=10

Giving it a 10 minutes delay.
Save file.
PS: If "Defaults" exist, just add
passwd_timeout=10 separated by a comma from the latter.
i.e:
Quote:

Defaults syslog=auth,passwd_timeout=10
