Unable to use ! as a character in the super user password for the GroupWise Admin Console

Trying to change the super user admin password for the GroupWise Admin console to something like 1GHfox! and while it appears to be working, when going to log into the Admin console with that password returns an error that either the username or password is incorrect.  When trying to use the old password, the same is also returned.

Change the password but leave out the exclamation mark character
