Hi!


I was attempting to install some program which required me to key in some commands into Terminal. There was this prompt for my pw, but I didnt realised that it was referring to the pw for my mac. So I saved the file and close the application, and tried again. Only now there's no more prompting for commands or anything. I tried typing in the command but nothing's happening; the cursor just goes on to the next line instead of prompting me for my pw as prev.


In my first try, this came out immediately when I opened my Terminal application:

On my second try this dont appear anymore. Instead it's just a blank window. I've tried clicking the default login shell under terminal>preferences>shells open with, but nothing's working! PLEASE HELP ME! :(
 
omg you guys are great! thanks for the prompt replies :) and yep, I've restarted my mac and it's gg great now. Thanks, really awesome! (Y)
