I'm changing a sudo command in OS X 10.5.6 on my new iMac and I'm running into a problem. Terminal asks for my password (I'm the Admin) and there's a gray rectangular box after the word "password". I'm unable to type anything. I tried typing my password and pressing return. Nothing happens but another prompt to enter my password.
I've repaired permissions after installing the latest updates. I also tried typing in my password before I installed my latest updates. Either way Terminal won't allow me to type in my password.
I wonder if Terminal is corrupt. ?
This is a brand new computer, arrived yesterday, nothing added to it. I'm putting it through the paces before adding my external hard drive and other software.
I purchased software, which requires a sudo command, and that's where I'm having the problem. The software is compatible with Leopard. I know that's why I purchased a new computer. It was a good excuse for an upgrade.
