terminal and keyboard password ?

Hi everyone, and thank you for your time.

I have a Mac Pro 2.8 mid 2010 quad core. Updated the firmware from4,1 to 5,1. Unfortunately now I can't create a bootable USB drive. I followed to the *T*, on Apple's site how to creat a bootable USB, and worked every time, but now strangely enough when I enter all the sudo cammands it types the commands and all the processes go through, and then when it asks for my password, at that point the keyboard does not let me type in my password, or nothing ?

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), null

It’s not supposed to show a response. Keep typing the password even though nothing appears.

In terminal it hides the keystrokes of your password. Does it show a password lock symbol after typing the command? If so, try typing it in and hit return (enter). It should work after that. Good luck!

Thank you for chiming in. I do see the the lock, but when I type, it does not show characters for each keystroke, thank again, will try again.

Nothing will show while you type the password. Press Return at the end of the password.
