Hello,
I have been a mac user for quite sometime now and have recently bought an iMac 27inch. It's the first time i have tried out OS Lion and I have been having problems with Terminal. The thing is that when i enter a sudo command terminal asks me for my password. I know that Terminal doesn't type in the password, you just need to type it in your keyboard and hit the return key and that's supposed to work.
I have tried everything and don't know what to do anymore. I have tried making my self a root password and entering it and it still doesn't work. I have also changed my admin password and it still doesn't work. I have even tried just pressing the return key without typing in anything and Terminal continues to say that its an invalid password or something of some sort.
Can anyone can tell me what to do? It's kind of an emergency because i need it to install an application that i need for work!!! So, any ideas are welcome!
Thanks!
