Are you at the OS login screen and cannot log in with your Standard user account? Or are you logged into your Standard user account and trying to modify the "Users & Groups" System Preferences? If you are trying to unlock the padlock on the System Preferences, then you will need to authenticate with an admin user name & password. Standard user accounts are restricted on what they are allowed to do.
