hey, been trying to install homebrew in my terminal:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)" ==> This script will install: /usr/local/bin/brew /usr/local/Library/... /usr/local/share/man/man1/brew.1 ==> The following directories will be made group writable: /usr/local/. ==> The following directories will have their group set to admin: /usr/local/.
Press RETURN to continue or any other key to abort ==> /usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod g+rwx /usr/local/.
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.

i don't have a password associated with the computer i'm using so i'm not sure what password it wants. i've tried not typing anything and returning only to have it be invalid. does anyone else have this same issue?
