Thank you for taking the time to report this bug! However, it is not
supposed to display anything when you type in your password. It will
look like nothing's there. This is for security purposes. You really are
typing in your password, and it really is accepting it, though. So try
it again, this time type in your password just as you normally would,
and hit 'Enter' after it. This should make it go through unless there is
something wrong with your system.

Try it out, and post back here with your results.
