doesnt appear what? your typed password?
yes u understand it well xterminater-09
dude i hope you knw the typed password normally is visible on in the form of asterisks (*)
no its not xterminator-09 thats why i create this thread
Just type your password and press enter. You won't see ******* when you type your password in the terminal.
thanq fr ur valuable guidance ICO
yeah there r no visual cues when u enter password in terminal.
Its a security feature. You never see any password being typed into the terminal. just type it correctly and go for the installation. Even i was bugged by it once 
In Unix, you won't see the asterisks, so as to prevent anyone guessing the length

Most people don't have doubts with it because they don't look at screen while typing passwords.
