Configuring Enforcer with special chars in enc password

I got a test SEPM w/SNAC setup.  Configured a single test gateway enforcer.

Having trouble configuring it for the first time with this command from the manual.

"spm ip <address> group <group> http <port #> key <enc password>"

I have a '?' in my encryption password and the CLI doesnt like it.  When I hit '?' to put it in the above command, the line immediately returns and I get an "incomplete command" error message.  Basically the CLI doesnt accept '?' anywhere in that line.  How can I get around this?

What build are you running? I

What build are you running? I found this KB that references the MR4 build.

It notes: Do not use special characters when creating your password (%*&!?/) as special characters are not compatible with the database encryption process.
