Okay, two things: -try running the command without sudo. Depending on how you set up the VM I think it's possible you might be able to run it as that user -if that doesn't work, or if it asks for a password again, just type the password you set up for the user. Sudo is trying to run as root on your machine, so it needs the authority to do so. I assume if you only set up one user on your VM then that would be the administrator so just use that password you set up. Also, it is acknowledging what you type, it just doesn't show you that. So if you type the password and hit enter you'll get some kind of response (whether it's happy with that or not). Let me know if that helps?
