I'd be happy to except that how to do so seems to be yet another inscrutable, uncrackable mystery...at least for me.  >:(  :(

Yep, I knew it was something easy like that.

su username lets me type in the password for the admin account and then I can go from there.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure you will be hearing from me again.

Brand new to linux and I can't remember how to install software while running under a non admin account. My admin's name is billy-johnson but running

sudo -u billy-johnson apt install apt-transport-https curl

just prompts me for the sudo password for my current account (which doesn't exist because my current account is a limited account not a administrators)
