Cannot enter password into Terminal

[Gren]

I am trying to make a bootable OS X install drive using a Terminal command. I can paste the text into terminal which results in this message -

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Password:

but when I try to enter my password nothing happens. Any ideas please?

In terminal the password doesn't appear in any way. No asterisks, no characters, nothing. Just be careful typing it in and when you hit "return" the command should run.

...the cursor will not move either as you type...so it will appear as if the keyboard is unresponsive. As Jake said, just be careful typing in your password.
