      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i want to change the root password easy with a command i can copy/paste, so i used:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;esxcli system account set -i=root -p=newpassword -c=newpassword&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But the new password has a "$" in it, and it seems that this causes a problem. The changed password don't work. When i replace the "$" with a 2 then the passord is working.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No error message, the command completes and when i want to login again i can't, because the password isn't working.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i'm using ESXi 7.0.3 with the latest patches.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It here something i can do that the command accept the password with a "$" sign? This is a perfect special character, because this is on the US and german keybord on the same key.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/40459"&gt;@Raudi&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You can try enclosing the symbol in single quotes, like:&lt;BR /&gt;esxcli system account set -i=root -p=Pass'$'w0rd -c=Pass'$'w0rd&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have another account equivalent to root just in case.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Regards,&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Ferdinando&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
