Unable to run command as administrator

On my kid's computer, I am the administrator. But when I am logged in as my kid, then attempt to run something as an administrator, I get a dialog box like that shown below. It says, "To continue enter admin username and password". But as you can see, there is no way to continue, no place to enter a username or password. This certainly seems like a bug to me. Any ideas how I can run apps as an administrator on my kids PC?

FYI, this is the latest version of Windows 11.

    Your administrative user might be different than "Administrator".

    When you are physically connected to the computer, check if the Administrator user is enabled.

    Try using the same command, replacing the "administrator" with a different administrative user.
