solaris 10 login. I can not input any character

well I am using vmware to install solaris 10. everything went smooth( I installed it like 1000 times already and i get the same problem with login.) I can type my username without any problem but when i go to type my password. it does not take any character. i cant see anything. It is very frustrating because I have been doing it for 2 days already. my keyboard is fine. I can not even copy paste on password. Is there a solution for it? I even clean installed it on my laptop. I can not type anything on password field.
thanks if anyone can help me
