Here you should be asked for the password.

Looks like Horde_Cli::passwortPrompt() isn't working for you. It  
triggers a PHP error if it cannot spawn a bash shell. If you configure  
your PHP to show or log errors, you should see that.
We should rather fallback to a standard prompt in this case though.  
Please create a ticket.

Jan.
