If you select the SMB/CIFS installation method on the initial grub screen, and
if the password contains a bang(!), the installer will be unable to load the
install environment.

However, the text-mode installer does not suffer from this. 

The text after the bang in the password shows up before the hostname/IP-address
in the text-mode SMB/CIFS installer. This is the password entered at the grub
screen.
