Unable to key in password for 12.4.4-packet-tracer---use-ftp-services

[knyfck]

Hi all,

Hereby attached with a screenshot of my problem with 12.4.4 activity on Cisco Packet Tracer and a .zip file of the .pka activity. 

I'm currently stuck on the Step 2 where after key in 'student'. I couldn't type the password of 'class'. 

Anything I press on my keyboard does not come out and the only key it will react to is the enter key only.

Is there a problem with my CPT where I accidentally mischanged some settings?

Would be glad if someone could lend me a helping hand on this

Do let me know if further information is needed for me to provide.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

In the password field I am not sure if it just stays blank, but when you type a password its there but possibly hidden. Instead of asterisks showing up like ******** when you type a password, its blank for security reasons. Have you tried typing in the password and hitting enter? Does it give you an error?

Hi David,

Thank you for your swift reply.

Yes it worked as you said. I did not know that they were intentionally left blank for security purpose until you told me.

Appreciate your help on sharing your knowledge with me.

Thank you very much
