Jarsigner problem

I'm a beginner in Java and especially in signing a .jar file

After having generated a key with the command:

keytool -genkey -alias myAlias -keypass myKeypass -keystore myKeystore -storepass myStorepass

I succesfully get a myKeystore file generated.

While trying to sign my .jar file with it:

jarsigner -keystore c:\exports\jarFile\myKeystore -signedjar sTest.jar test.jar myAlias

I get prompted with:

Enter Passphrase for keystore:_

The problem is I can't type anything in it, my keyboard characters seem to lock up at that particular moment everytime with any jar file i created.

I can only exit the console or press the enter button that it will take a empty field as the password and will then complain that I did not provide a valid password cause I wasn't able to type any character because it just won't let me to.

After pressed enter it will display:

jarsigner: you must enter a keypassword

Did I do anything wrong here?

are you sure it's locked up and not just hiding whatever you type?

Hmm it seems to hide all the stuff indeed, normally I would have expected **** or something, but instead it does display nothing. Anyways thank you very much !!
