reset-access password with exclamation mark ! does not work
CLI Version: 0.10.5 OS Type: Win Installation via: win
Mode: AMR Environment: AzureCloud/Azure China Cloud/US Government/Blackforest/Azure Stack
Description: azure vm reset-access does not work if I put a ! in the password field. It's like if I input the password without the !.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run
azure vm reset-access .... -p toto!
Error stack trace:
No error, but if you try login on the VM, you'll see that didn't work.
@omartin2010 , I'm thinking that ! is a special character in the command shell (windows) and it is likely not being passed into xplat-cli. So, the cli would have never passed it in to the backend systems.
If logging in with the same password you chose but without the ! (i.e, toto and not toto!) actually worked, then that confirms the theory.
The solution then, I think is that you need to escape special characters in your password text (with double quotes).
Finally, I suppose you'd see the same issue from bash shell as well.

Let us know if that helped. Thanks.
I recall trying this also on the Azure portal and it didn't work either... I'll give it a try and report.
Hi Amar, I didn’t try to repro it but I was told perhaps the ! was an escape character in cli… but I had tried if I recall with ! and \! but it’s been a while… Olivier
