in terminal when i type password nothing prints

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug.

Fred,

This is "working as designed". When you type sudo and it asks for a password, nothing is showed (or echoed) to the terminal when you type.

You may be familiar with other programs which show "*" in place of characters?

This is a security feature, even if someone is watching, they cannot see how many characters your password is by watching the terminal.

Best of luck,
George
