I want to disable the prompt for a password when installing a software and when launching a vpn client (torGard).

How can disable this?

What I've done:
in terminal > 

sudo visudo /etc/sudoers/

1st I've changed 

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

then ctrl + O (wich might be were I am wrong?)

It didn't do much so I've also changed the setting for %sudo and %root but I am still prompt for those passwords. Any thing I would have missed?

While logged on as yourself ( myusername ) issue this

sudo visudo

you will get a pwd prompt ... then put this new line at file bottom

myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: NOPASSWD: ALL

of course replace myusername with your actual value ... save with a ctrl-x ... enter a Y to confirm

enjoy and welcome to the world of linux
