    Yes. Too long ago since I played with NT to remember the complete list. Certainly adding a ! to the end of a password was an easy way to crank up the difficult a password cracker would have cracking the password.

    Easiest thing is to try it and see. Create a new user and try different combinations. If you put in an invalid password or username, the system will tell you.
