man passwd:

with these characters.

Sorry it seems to be that the # and @ are not allowes on hp, please ask the user to pick a passwd whitout a # ore @.

Hi

Is your system in trusted mode or nontrusted?

In trusted mode you can declare user to use special charecters, numeric character.

But in nontrusted mode this type of policy not accepted.

Check your system please.

>Is that possible to give password with the special character.

Sure but you must quote it with a "\".
And you have to know when and when you don't need to quote it.

>ahsan: In trusted mode you can declare user to use special charecters, numeric character.

I don't think trusted mode changes the getty magically change @ and #.
