My guess is that its more a conf file issue than a password one... im thinking the ; wouldn't be a problem if you were running realtime where the passwords are pulled from a DB as opposed to being parsed from a config file...

I used one of those random password generators found on Al Gore's pipework to do the honors. Nada! Invent the password myself and bingo! WTF?? So why won't this password work Xd37&4;dCV9a but this password will qwertyuiopas ? Well, I'll tell you. Note that cute little semi-colon in the random password. It would seem that Asterisk sees everything after that as a comment. Well of course it does - duh!! But nowhere that I've found does the docs state that you can only use a particular set of characters in your passwords. Have I found an "undocumented feature" or a conflict of some kind? Or perhaps just an oversight in the password documentation.
