You don't get feedback as you type your password, it is being accepted though. Just type as if it was giving feedback and hit ENTER.
I have tried that many times. It doesn't work.

It's normal. Password in terminal window will not displays when you type it.
You should type it correctly and hit Enter after all. If it will not help, write output here.
PS
Sorry for my bad English.
OK I will try that. Thanks
