Hello,

that is the part of live-initramfs asking for the password
the read command has the -s switch to not echo to the screen what is typed,

there are some problems now with live, may be the error is not for encryption, 
see the file live.log in the initramfs prompt
and look in previous posts.

tail -150 /live.log | more

Kind regards,

Jordi Pujol

And that is part of the code in live.initramfs/scripts/live-helpers:

			if [ -z "${encryption}" ]
			then
				/sbin/losetup ${options} "${dev}" "${fspath}"
				[ "${FSTAB}" = "Yes" ] && echo "# setup_loop ()
${fspath}	${dev}	auto	noauto,${options}	0	0" >> "${FSTABFILE}"
			else
				# Loop AES encryption
				while true
				do
					load_keymap

					echo -n "Enter passphrase for ${fspath}: " >&6
					read -s passphrase
					echo "${passphrase}" > /tmp/passphrase
					exec 9</tmp/passphrase
					/sbin/losetup ${options} -e "${encryption}" -p 9 "${dev}" "${fspath}"
					error=${?}
					exec 9<&-
					rm -f /tmp/passphrase

					if [ 0 -eq ${error} ]
					then
						[ "${FSTAB}" = "Yes" ] && echo "# setup_loop () encryption
${fspath}	${dev}	auto	noauto,${options}	0	0" >> "${FSTABFILE}"
						unset error
						break
					fi

					echo -n "Something went wrong... Retry? [YES/no] " >&6
					read answer

					if [ 'no' = "${answer}" ]
					then
						unset answer
						break
					fi
				done
			fi

			echo "${dev}"
			return 0
		fi
