                          I've recently tried to install Microsoft SQL Server setup.exe using well tried syntax I used before, but run into error the because of '=' sign in my user password. See sample command below:

    setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=Domain\User /SAPWD=Pass=word

Is there a way to screen equal sign or somehow specify password for SAPWD switch so that it has equal sign in it bud not causing error?
