If you have sudo privileges, typing your password at that prompt should allow you to proceed. Try running this slightly modified version of the command that’s failing to see which piece of it might be failing. This will prompt for your sudo password:

/usr/bin/timeout --foreground 5 sudo -k -v && echo "success" || echo "error"
