Passwords that contain a % fail

[MrTyton]

If you set a password inside of the .ini file, and it contains a %, then it considers it an escape character and crashes. This is solved by changing the password or by replacing the % with a %%, but should likely be noted in the documentation.

[JimmXinu]

This is a known issue. It's mentioned at least 8 times in the defaults.ini comments, albeit for date formats and output_css settings which are much more likely to need %.
