Install Sass – Fail / Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

when trying to install Sass; Terminal shows following message. Password input is not possible. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

sudo gem install sass

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

I did not put a password on my root/administrator account. Terminal still asking for a password and refusing to accept no password.
