As with other Oracle identifiers, you have to put double quotes around the
password to include nonstandard stuff.

SQL> ALTER USER SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY "*&^%$$# L";

User altered.

SQL> CONNECT scott/"*&^%$$# L"
Connected.

Supposedly, lower case letters aren't supported in these passwords, but
I've seen it work just fine.

Incidentally, double quotes are not supported by the SQL*Plus "password"
command, which is a shame.  I've logged a TAR on this problem.

Good luck
Bill
