johnccleaner, I thank you for your thoughtful advice. As I have very carefully at least five times gone through the process, and each time seen my password, I will check with Apple Support, as you suggest. I did have a problem that they just had a fix for yesterday. This, as you say is not something that should happen, and appears to be an Apple problem. Again, thank you.

I do see text when I enter my Mac OS password - the instructions say I won't. CCleaner does not open as sudo and remains Free when I have purchased Professional.
