sudo only ever asks for your password.  When the prompt says '[sudo]
password for ubuser:', it wants the password for the user ubuser.

So, in a terminal, you entered 'echo options i915 modeset=1 | sudo tee
/etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf' (without the quotes, of course), entered
your password at the sudo password prompt and it refused it, prompting
you again?  I've never seen it refuse a correct password.  I'd suggest
checking your NumLock and CapsLock to ensure that they are the way you
expect them when typing in your password (normally NumLock on and
CapsLock off).

A quick test is in a terminal type 'sudo echo password-worked' (you may
substitute "password-worked" for any string you like) and it should say
"password-worked" then return you to the normal command prompt.
