Description
When setting up a password (either for root or a user) in the setup GUI, users cannot use "special" character such as #~%^*#,. etc. in the password or else the password is rejected. That said, the user can su to root AFTER the install and change the password using a "special" character via the passwd command, just not during the formal install. Minor bug.
