Yes, type your password that you log in with. You will get no feedback. Just type and hit enter.

Installing a package requires root privileges , when you run a command with sudo it will ask you for the admin password that you had set up while installation .

Well, the 'admin pasword' is your login password, nothing more

Can you help with this problem?
