If nothing was echoed (printed) to screen when you entered the password, this is normal. Your password is not displayed on screen. Enter the password, hit return. You should now see characters as you type. If this doesn't work, try typing at the LILO prompt when you first boot the system. If there are still problems, check your cables, and report back to the list. -- Karsten M.
