on non-trusted systems, you *might* be able to use the "\" to escape the special character and thus allow you to change the password.

or "passed -d"

to remove the existing password, then set it something reasonable.

or simply deleting the password field for that user in /etc/passwd then setting it

there are reasons that special characters are warned against..

"not able to create new password without special character in my server...."

uh...

define what *you* call a special character

and what requires you to have said character(s) in your password (ie. what message do you get if you don't use it)
