• Passwords can not contain quotation marks.
• Passwords are case sensitive.
• A password must begin with an alphabetic character.
• Passwords can contain only alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_), dollar sign ($), and pound sign (#).
• Password may NOT contain the "@" character.
• However, Oracle strongly discourages you from using $ and #.
