I want to add a new user to run all commands without a password so i went to edit /etc/sudoers (using visudo of course) by add line "myuser ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL". Everything is ok, but 15 minutes later, file sudoers was reset to origin.It's mean in the sudoers file didn't have anything that i have typed the previous.
So why does it have to be reset after 15 minutes and how to fix it?

It sounds like you have a configuration management system like chef or puppet syncing your sudoers files between machines.  There is nothing in sudo itself that would revert the sudoers file to an earlier version.
