Comment 1 Michael Pasternak 2012-02-28 10:32:09 UTC 
'!' is a special character used for cmd-shell, use \' to wrap password
string, i.e:

ovirt-shell --connect --url "http://<ipaddr>:8080/api"
--user "admin@internal" --password 'lallalalala!'

(this is ordinal escape-sequence cmd behaviour: when string enclosed by \' - 
all characters (including special) in it get ignored)
