Is the last sentence what appeared on your screen?

Don't worry, just insert your password and press enter. On linux the password was hidden in terminal.

what do you mean by "as a warning as a threat"?

what were you doing when the "warning" came up?

and what do you mean by "JH5C8 is what you sent me to find in the middle of multiple others to get to this page"?

as enrico mentioned, any password that is entered into ubuntu/linux will not be displayed on the screen.

Can you help with this problem?
