Just starting, cannot create Password for superuser

[Raja Weise]

Hi there,

I am having difficulty while following the "Writing your First Django app, Part 2." Everything prior to this I believe I have done correctly, as I have been testing along the way just as the instructions say, however when creating the admin user, in cmd I cd to C:\Python27\mysite (where I have manage.py saved) and I input the command "python manage.py createsuperuser".

It prompts me to enter a username, i put admin, I put in my email address, however when it asks me to make a password I can't type in anything at all. It won't even let me paste a string into it. I am very new to programming and cannot figure out what is wrong. I've tried to run cmd as an administrator, but that doesn't work. Can someone please help me?
Thank you very much

Hi Raja,

What do you mean it doesn't allow you to type anything at all? It shouldn't echo anything. The prompt doesn't move when inputing the password and that's the way it should be. Try to add a password and the press enter. You should then be prompted to re-enter the password. Without echoing again.

Regards,

Andréas

you are able to type the password, but it is not echoed

just type your password and press enter, if I'm I remember correctly it will ask you to type again to confirm

Thank you so much! I didn't know that it didn't echo even **.
