Using a $ in a password causes some issues #58

I tried including a $ as part of my password and it caused some issues. I was able to get instances to spin up but the dashboard wasn't showing any IP addresses available.

You should avoid using special characters in the username and password, as special characters cause issue due to how URL encoding works.

Using only alphanumeric characters is the easiest solution. I will update the documentation to reflect this. #60
