When I ask a commnad and it ask me the password, I can't type or paste it. It doesn't let me do whatever it takes to write the pass

I paste a command to upload a program, Calibre, and it worked until it asked me the password. Then, althought I try to paste or write it, I couldn't.

Thanks for the report.
Actually entering the password doesn't display a feedback such as stars or alike, but it still does recognize it.
Please try again to enter your password and report back if it worked. Thank you.

I realise that although the words doesn't appear, if I write the password and hit enter, it works. My first day with linux, so I start panic. Thanks for answering :)
