Please note that sudo does not show any response when you enter your password 
(no characters, no asterisk signs etc.)!
So in most cases when a person thinks that sudo does not let you write a 
password in reality it works as designed.

Can you try the commmand
id
and the command 
sudo id

you should see a difference.
