Actually it is off topic for this particular mailing list.... Anyway:

1. your command is ok if you use single quotes when directly putting

the encrypted string instead of double quotes

$ sudo useradd -c "your user" -m your_user -p 'encrypted password'

2. or you could use what sugggested by Banyan using command

substitution ( `...` or the more Posix compliant and readable $(...) mechanism) that works instead with double quotes
