sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
-bash: ume: command not found
abcs-MacBook-Pro:~ abc$
abcs-MacBook-Pro:~ abc$

I was allowed to type in my password after abcs-MacBook-Pro:~ abc$ appeared...I have just deleted my password. Why couldn't I type in my password?

It's expected when you enter a "sudo" command for the key to appear as you saw, but you never see any indication that you've entered your password.

I'm not sure about what happened after your 3rd "incorrect" password attempt. It looks like you entered "ume" and Terminal didn't recognize it.
