Description

Greetings macports team. I recently installed macports on my mac

Unfortunately it has a password issue and it doesn't let me to write any password nor it accepts any password of mine.

WHile I don't have any password in my computer the terminal is telling me that I have written a "wrong password" despite the fact that I dont have one.

I only want to unsinstall macports thanks for your time

Please do net set priority to "high", as this is reserved for developers as per the Ticket Guidelines prominently linked from the "New Tickets" page.

MacPorts itself does not do any password handling or privilege management itself. It is likely that what you see is actually your sudo binary asking you for a password before granting super-user rights. Despite your belief that your computer is not password protected you probably only have the automatic login feature enabled. Your account still has a password and sudo requires typing this password (it also requires your user to be an administrator user).

You have attached the MacPorts installer dmg, not a picture of the issue you're seeing.

Note that the bug tracker should not be used for support requests; you should have posted to the MacPorts-users mailinglist, see MailingLists.
