Mac OS X: sudo command requires a nonblank admin - Support Apple password

When you type the password of the user after the "password:" prompt, you won't see anything appear in the Terminal window. Just type the password and press ENTER. If the password is entered correctly, you will see the message "Sorry, try again" and he give another chance to enter the password correctly.

  • Cannot type a password in the terminal

    Hi all

    Since the upgrade to the latest OS, I can't enter my password in the Terminal. Every day I run a script to stop Apple to steal data from me that I am on a very low data plan. Yesterday I could not run the script for this reason, so I manually closed the process in activity monitor. Unfortunately it is started again and has stolen the breakdown of my whole month. Here is what I get. There is a lock symbol that suddenly appeared. I googled and could not find any answers. I hope someone can help.

    Have you tried just typing the password for it? I see the lock too, but just type the password (which is not) and the sudo is executed.

  • I went into the Terminal to uninstall Java according to the Mac and I can't type my password

    I can't type my password in the terminal so I can uninstall Java according to the Mac.  It's like my keyboard is dead.  I have a Macbook Pro (2011) ElCapitan 10.11.2 version... I don't have any idea what to do.

    This is normal in the Terminal. The keyboard is typing your password even if you do not see the letters or movements.

    Try everything you do again and when it asks for the password, type it as you normally would (even if you don't see anything) and then press return/enter

  • I can't enter my password in the login screen.

    I can't enter my password in the login screen. The screen freezes when I start typing and I have to restart in safe mode. Then I restart the computer and then I can type my password to connect. This problem started probably by itself after a windows update. In the case of an account without password, the computer hangs after some time. I am using windows 7 Home premium.

    Since you can get in Mode safe, do a system restore when things worked. Then, if you feel really done a Windows Update, set Windows Update installs do not automatically, but you when updates are available. Then look at each update and install them one at a time, testing after each installation.

    Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • After you type the master password in session can force type master password once again without ending the current session and start new session?

    Sometimes after using the password to access an account during a given session of firefox, I want to "repeal" this ability of automatic access (i.e. require type the password again once) without having to put an end to the current session and restart firefox.

    It's nice to only have to type the password once per session, there are times when after launching an action that I would let the browser unattended for a short period but to prevent others to access sensitive information on other sites if they can't my master password. Note that this is not the same thing as "locking the browser. Currently, the only way I know to force it is to kill the session and restart the browser but it's not very satisfying if I really want to stay connected (allowed) to a particular site. I hope that adding a button in the Security tab "requires the master password for the current session" would be a simple solution to implement? Thank you for your attention.

    You can connect from the software security device (e.g. click Cancel in the dialog box display the passwords) to force them to return to the MP once more.

  • I can't paste my password for the private key in the dialog box

    I use Thunderbird on Ubuntu 14.10 with Enigmail GPG encryption. When Thunderbird needs my password, a dialog box appears asking for it, but it won't let me paste the password into the dialog box. I use a completely random sentence of 64 characters, including special characters, and I can't sit and type the thing every time. I need to be able to stick my password manager. I do not know if it is a problem of Thunderbird, or if it is with Enigmail or Ubuntu. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

  • How can I reset my password for the password I Sweden previously?

    I have a set of files back, which I've encrypted under my previous password and I am not able to open them now. When I try to change my current password and use the other, Windows says I can't use this password. Is there a solution that that?

    any help much appreciated

    No, by its design once you use a password and then it is changed for one reason or another you are unable to use the previous. Sorry, we don't have that, but we don't have the choice that it just may not be reused.   Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.
