Password: error: unable to open output file: open backup.xml: Access is denied.

): v0.1.7-alpha.2Detailed description
Hi,
I would very much appreciate getting this to work. I am brand new to Github... hope you can help me out. It might be very basic, what I'm doing wrong.
I have my backup file,
signal-2020-02-17-18-24-50.backup
andsignal-back_windows_amd64.exe
in the same folder.I hold shift and right-click in the folder and choose
Open PowerShell window here
In the PowerShell window I type
signal-back_windows_amd64.exe format -f XML -o backup.xml signal-2020-02-17-18-24-50.backup
I then get a line with this text:
Suggestion [3,General]:
(...)If you trust this command, instead type: ".\signal-back_windows_amd64.exe". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.
I follow the suggestion and instead type:
.\signal-back_windows_amd64.exe format -f XML -o backup.xml signal-2020-02-17-18-24-50.backup
I then get a
Password:
line but it doesn't respond to any inputs (*** stars or numbers don't show up when I type numbers). I try typing in my encryption key anyway but I always get the same response:Password: error: unable to open output file: open backup.xml: Access is denied.
I tried typing in the 6x5 digit encryption key without spaces and with a single space in between each digit group.
Full relevant output
