Actually, even as a non-admin users, you can open a terminal and su to root.
Also, I also run macOS as a non-admin user; but when you install a new upgrade, etc the system will ask for your admin passwd.
Basically, everyone should have a root password on macOS even though they do not run as admin. If all users set a root password, then the update would not have been necessary, according to what I read when I dug into the details. The issue, or so it seems, is that many or many most macOS users seem to rarely work on the console and do all their work via the Mac GUI.
Well I have tried using both sudo -s and su ladmin in non-admin mode and neither give me access...

KAS_UNLOCK(8) AFS Command Reference KAS_UNLOCK(8)NAME
kas_unlock - Unlocks a locked user account
SYNOPSIS
kas unlock -name <authentication ID>
[-admin_username <admin principal to use for authentication>]
[-password_for_admin <admin password>] [-cell <cell name>]
[-servers <explicit list of authentication servers>+]
[-noauth] [-help]
kas u -na <authentication ID>
[-a <admin principal to use for authentication>]
[-p <admin password>] [-c <cell name>]
[-s <explicit list of authentication servers>+] [-no] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The kas unlock command unlocks the Authentication Database entry named by the -name argument. An entry becomes locked when the user exceeds
the limit on failed authentication attempts, generally by providing the wrong password to either an AFS-modified login utility or the klog
command. Use the kas setfields command to set the limit and the lockout time, and the kas examine command to examine the settings.
To unlock all locked user accounts at once, shutdown the kaserver process on every database server machine, and remove the
/var/lib/openafs/local/kaauxdb file from each one. The kaserver process recreates the file as it restarts.
OPTIONS -name <authentication ID>
Names the Authentication Database entry to unlock.
-admin_username <admin principal>
Specifies the user identity under which to authenticate with the Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details,
see kas(8).
-password_for_admin <admin password>
Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is omitted (as recommended), the kas command interpreter prompts for it and does
not echo it visibly. For more details, see kas(8).
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see kas(8).
-servers <authentication servers>+
Names each machine running an Authentication Server with which to establish a connection. For more details, see kas(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. For more details, see kas(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
In the following example, an administrator using the "admin" account unlocks the entry for "jones":
% kas unlock -name jones -admin_username admin
Administrator's (admin) Password:
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "ADMIN" flag set on his or her Authentication Database entry.
