Thank you Jan,

my php.ini parameters:
safe_mode = on
error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors = On


The display_errors is on before, no any error show, but after I set log_errors
to on, it can log errors as below:

found that it is safe mode problem, after setting safe_mode = off, the password
question can be shown now.
