Steps to reproduce:
1) Install dirsrv
2) enter admin console
3) expand server group and double click on "Administration Server"
4) Click "Configuration" tab
5) Click "Access" tab
6) reset password utilizing an ! as the last character ( I used an 8 character password)
7) try to login again with new password.

I am unable to reproduce this using current builds on F14.  I first performed an initial install with an admin password ending in '!'.  The install was successful, and I was able to log in via 389-console as the admin user.  I then changed the admin password via the "Access" tab in 389-console, with the new password also ending with '!'.  This password change was successful, and I was able to log into 389-console as the admin user using this new password.

The version of 389 that you are using is fairly old.  You might want to try a more recent version to see if it works properly for you.
