Thanks for reporting the issue @cpsworldwide. Can you change your password asap so that it is not visible to users on the forum?

@cobramonk any solution?

I already changed it. I think when we are using special characters this issue arises. I changed the password and removed the $ and it worked

This is an implementation bug. We consider any string starting with “$” as a reference to a variable ( variables are not yet released). We’ll handle this by escaping the dollar within regular strings in a future update.
