I just rewrite config to \$P@\$\$w0rd\ 123

but still got authentication failed

how to correct it thanks

I don't have problems with '$'. Try to espace only space.

As space is a separator, try to replace space with encoded character '\x00'.

I just remove space in my password but still not work with dollar sign

Enable debug and check it. It could be a problem of prompt, for example (https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/issues/3128)

Enclose your password within single quotes:

username: oxidized
password: '$P@$$w0rd 123'
