ConEmu new tab ‘Run as user’ using special characters for password

1

I'm a long time ConEmu user and I have several tasks to open new tab that Run As User. recently one of the users got password changed and it's using special characters like '^', '%', e.g: 5tgb%T^YHN. the new password doesn't catch. ConEmu prompt me to enter the password again each time. I have tried to put escape char before each special character, e.g. %% or ^^, tried to double them e.g. %%, ^^ and tried to soround the whole password with "". all failed. How do I pass the password to the task so ConEmu can interpret it right?

test 5tgb^%T^^YHN or '5tgb%T^YHN' – STTR – 2015-02-18T12:19:07.940

SSTR - tried both, no luck. – user308452 – 2015-02-21T09:57:20.983

Maximus - I tried many ways to pass the special characters: doubling the char: 5tgb^%T^^YHN escaping the char: 5tgb^%T^^YHN soround by ' or ": "5tgb%T^YHN", '5tgb%T^YHN' all failed... – user308452 – 2015-02-21T09:59:03.327

Issue resolved: I had also '@' in my password which apparently considered as special character as well. The way to do it is prefix each char with '^' (esc) character. For example, password 5tgb%T^YHN@1 should be: 5tgb^%T^^YHN^@1.

Thanks
