Hi RJSomps,
When you type the password into the Terminal application in order to execute a command, the actual password does not appear while typing it. This is a security feature. See this article for details.
Mac OS X: sudo command requires a non-blank admin password

Specifically -
When typing the user's password after the "Password:" prompt appears, you will not see anything appear in the Terminal window. Just type in the password and press Return. If the password is entered incorrectly, you will see the message "Sorry, try again" and be given another chance to enter the password correctly.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
