1045 with complex password

[frederic eveilleau]

Hi,

I use MySQL 5.6.15 on Windows.
I create the user 'a' identified by a simple password (like 'a' for example).
I can connect without problem by using mysql -ua -pa.

But it doesn't work when i want to use a complex password like 'C$1ccccccc'.
D:\MySQL\MQL56\bin>mysql --user=c --password='C$1ccccccc'
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'c'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Where I'm wrong ?
