jrdave2304 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm trying to get my wireless working and change some other settings using Terminal. I get through typing commands fine, but when it asks for my password it doesn't let me type anything. I've tried searching around the forums but haven't found anything. I'm sure (hope) there's a simple solution and hope one of you can help me out. I have the Microsoft Wireless Laser 6000 keyboard/mouse (drivers installed) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65519-typing-password-in-terminal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
delish Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 in OSX and linux, it doesnt show that you type pw, so just type your pw and press enter.
