i got all the soldering bit done fine, i can see the output in putty, happy days, but there is a problem, i cant get the password, when i enter

Code:

print("fiona%s"%hashlib.md5(*myserialno*\n".encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()[13:16])

the python prompt simply changes from >>> to ... i dont get a password result, so what stupid mistake am i making here? ive tried on both python 2.7 and 3.4 with the same result, i am using a linux machine for the python part if that matters (although it shouldnt really as python is pretty much platform independent)

EDIT

i also cant seem to get the console to see my keyboard presses, it just boots normally ignoring the keyboard presses
