When trying to update via Terminal sudo softwareupdate it still show to enter "System Administrator" password.

Same here. How do we get the latest Beta if we can't enter the password when prompted when we try to download? I also tried resetting the password via another Admin user and got the message "Password Reset Failed".

To upgrade to beta 10, I used the information from the DTK information regarding upgrading to beta 10:

"Please re-run the BAU in order to access macOS 11 Big Sur beta 10. Alternatively, you can download the image via the “Download” button to the right."

From this page: https://developer.apple.com/download/universal/

When I wedged my DTK Mac earlier, I had to do the recovery steps outlined here: https://download.developer.apple.com/Documentation/Universal_App_Quick_Start_Program_Resources/DTK_Release_notes.pdf

Hope this helps.
