Virtualbox Ubuntu 12.04 admin privilegs problem

I have Ubuntu 12.04 Virtualbox guest in Win7 

I get admin privilegs problem after executing
sudo usermod -G vboxsf jack

I dont had admin(sudo) privilegs anymore and to fix it I found solution, which needed some improvements

  1. boot to recovery mode during Ubuntu Virtualbox startup holding down SHIFT key
  2. login as root and execute
  3. mount -o remount,rw /
  4. usermod -a -G sudo jack
  5. reboot
