Ok; for the record. LINUX does NOT show ANY visual confirmation that it has received any input from you when it is prompting for a (log-in) password. It is NOT like Windblows, it does not show "*" or anything else for that matter. So... no, it is not froze, broken or anything else of the like (think of it as an added security feature). When you first boot up your linux box/image type in a valid user name (which you will see); then when it prompts for the password SLOWLY / ACCURATELY type in the password and then press enter. Again you will not have ANY visual confirmation what so ever that the system received any of your keystrokes. So long as you type it accurately the system will then successfully boot up for you.
