Keep typing and press enter. It should work from there. On unix systems, by default, you just don't get any output when you type a password as this is more secure than showing obfuscated characters.

If by "I cannot enter a passphrase", you mean that nothing is shown while you're typing in your passphrase, then there's no problem. You can simply type your passphrase, and then hit enter. Your passphrase should be asked twice.

If you've ever used sudo or su, you may remember that nothing is shown either.
