I have ubuntu 15.10(64bit) I followed the instructions from here . But when I do sudo service openvpn start , it only asks for username(hidden input) as shown in the image attached. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and what can be done?

This is strange. It is supposed to prompt username and password in
Terminal. Did you previously install some other software on Ubuntu
which causes this behaviour?

Try stoping "systemd-tty-ask-password-agent":
