title: PowerShell script not accepting $ (dollar) sign
body: <p>I am trying to open an SQL data connection using a PowerShell script and my password contains a <code>$</code> sign:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$cn = new-object system.data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=DBNAME;Initial Catalog=Catagory;User ID=User;Password=pass$word;")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to open a connection it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Login failed</p>
  </blockquote>
