Unable to enter my password in terminal. Terminal not letting me enter text to enter my password in mac mini
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Mac mini (M2, 2023)
If Terminal is asking for a password, then it is likely not going to show the password as you type it. The command line will remain blank.
Just type the password and then press the Return/Enter key.
Again, you will not see the password as you type it, but it is being processed.
I cannot enter any text to input my password. Same also applies to my old 2011 iMac

It is not a complicates password. I will send you a picture
As I posted above, in this circumstance Terminal will not show you the password as you type it.
You must simply type your password in the blind and then press the return key.
Why can't I enter my password in the Mac mini Terminal?
