[nitpick] Provide an explicit command example so readers can immediately act. Suggest adding a short snippet such as: 'Run passwd to set your password before enabling wheelNeedsPassword' followed by a code block:

```bash
passwd
# or, to set the 'nixos' user's password explicitly:
sudo passwd nixos
