Hi Zack,

We can't "mitigate" special characters because they're intercepted by the shell (basically, bash removed your $) before the adduser program is even started... Basic command line stuff :-)

Kind regards,
Tom

I wanted to say no, but after thinking about it yes. I set the initial password

recreated with a simpler password and it worked just fine.  I'm not sure if 
this is due to the software or if it is part of the docker image that I used to 
deploy the software, but it did not come with a default user like the 
documentation I found said it should

Could the adduser.php functions be changed to migitate the issue of an unquoted 
special character? This could save others from having the same frustrations in 
the future.

 From what I can see, the software is not open source, otherwise I would 
attempt to create a pull request for the changes if I could.

Thanks for the help!
Zack
