Hi Duncan, thanks for the response

Once, I press Esc button, then the very-long password text is erased.
But when this problem happened again, the Esc button didn't work.

How to see debug error message from this event?

So, my solution from this problem up till now is switch to terminal mode
$ sudo -i reboot :|
