Java Keytool asking for key store password after typing the comand?1?

I am from brazil and im trying to generate a keystore and after going to the bin of my jre7/bin in here its "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin" i try to run this code:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore
-alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

But it is asking me for a password after that and i cant type anything like, i pressed all the keyboard keys and nothing was writen all i can do is press enter and the key is not generated... Has anyone ever went through this? In portuguese he asks me for: "Informe a senha da área de armazenamento de chaves:"

You have to type password, which will be used to encrypt the key store and then confirm it. Passwords are not shadowed to the console, so it looks empty for you.

You may specify password in the command line itself with storepass and keypass parametrs

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore \
-storepass mypassword123 -keypass mypassword123 \
-alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

storepass is the password to encrypt the whole key store, and keypass is used to encrypt the key entry. Their values do not have to be the same.
