What did that dialog say exactly? What "settings" do you mean?

No, not really. ConsoleKit does not ever touch passwords. Can you
start rescue mode, do a root shell, use

  id <yourloginname>

to check whether you are still in the "admin" group, and if so, do

  EDITOR=nano visudo

and check whether you have

  %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

?
