asterisk users - Mar 2016 - what to do when a sip password includes a semicolon

?I got a new sip account, and the format
register=> user:passwrd at proxy:port
fails when the sip password ?has a semicolon
Is there a possible workaround?
I cannot change the password, it comes from the provider.

Try escaping the semicolon with a backslash. A password of abc;123 would 
become abc\;123
Not entirely certain that would work, but it would be the first thing I 
would try.

Also, I think a provider would be amenable to changing a password if it 
was problematic for some reason, but try the backslash first.
