    When entering passwords in the terminal, the characters you type won’t be visible. Just type your password as you normally would and press Enter. Even though you don’t see the characters, they are being entered.

    if you are not able to type at all :

    try to ls -la /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql to check permissions.

    for me it shows :

    -r-x–x–x 1 root

    if you do not have permissions, (you should be noticed the permission error) try to chmod +x /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

    then try again executing the command.

    also try to pass the password directly in the CLI :

    mysql -u root -p<password>
