_ **Security Reminder** _  
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi, @emiglio. Please could you try without special characters in the WordPress password, such as `&`. (These are not currently supported on Windows with WP-CLI.)
