Can't Restart from Administrator Account

In Zorin OS 6.2 Core Edition, when I go to Shut Down>Restart, I am logged out and taken to the login password for the secondary user account (my wife's). Then I have to use her login password and then go to Shut Down>Restart to actually reboot the computer.
Normally when going to Restart I should be asked for my admin password and then reboot.
Does anyone know what's wrong here?
I just installed Zorin about a week ago.

Hi,

when you want to shut down, are you clicking on "Log out" or on "Shut Down" ?, if you come to the login screen, there is a button with which you can also select shutdown which I think is on the top right of the login screen, I am under Windows at the mo and cannot check!!.

Also you might want to install the package "gnome-system-tools" and then look for "Users and Groups" once installed and you can manage the user accounts better with that app.
