The input should mention what password is needed.

$ fedora-review -b xxx
Password: 
Password: ERROR: Exception down the road...(logs in /home/fab/.cache/fedora-review.log)

It's not the FAS password or the one from https://bugzilla.redhat.com.

I've never been asked for a password from FedoraReview.

It's simply mock trying to run, add your user to the mock group

It seems that it's mock that asking for the root password.

Anyways, there is no mentioning in the README that it's required to setup mock and there should be a proper error message: ERROR: Exception down the road... might be funny but it's not really helpful.

It's the man page iirc
