Thank you for taking the time to report this bug! However, it is not supposed to display anything when you type in your password. It will look like nothing's there. This is for security purposes. You really are typing in your password, and it really is accepting it, though. So try it again, this time type in your password just as you normally would, and hit 'Enter' after it. This should make it go through unless there is something wrong with your system.
Try it out, and post back here with your results.
