ok, i bet i know what the problem is here.  the / is a stop character in 
UR syntax, as its a path seperatorL, used to seperate a path.     I'm 
guessing you shoudl avoid / \ ; @ % and maybe , ? &  and * in your 
passwords.   ` ` ! #  ^ ( ) - _ = + [ ] { } | ; < > should be safe. 
unless I"m forgetting something.
