Resolution
Consider the following two options, when typing a username or password that contains a reserved character to resolve the error:
-
Enclose the reserved character with double quotes; for example:
Dsmaint /user:m”&”f /pwd:m”^”frame -
Precede the reserved character with a carat (keyboard keys: Shift+6); for example:
Dsmaint /user:m^^&f /pwd:m^^frame
Note: Because the carat itself is a reserved character, to enter it as part of the username or password requires you to precede it with another carat or enclose it in double quotes.
Problem Cause
If the username or password specified contains a reserved character, the Windows command prompt does not treat the reserved character as plain text. Reserved characters include: & | ( ) < > ^
