Just a wild guess from a perl hacker (me) but maybe if you try 

Password\!@172.16.2.2 

(note the \ in front of the @.)  This is required before an @ and  a " in
perl so it is not taken as a perl command but as text.  I figured this out
be hacking the MRTG Script to suit my own specific needs.

Howdy all. I have an issue I'm curious if anyone else has 
encountered or worked around...
# cfgmaker pAssWoRd!@172.16.2.2 > routerlocation.cfg 
Just seems to get me: 
@172.16.2.2: Event not found.

Seems the ! is taking out the rest of the command somehow. I 
have a whole mess of devices to add, so I'm hoping I won't have to 
write nor edit the .cfg files by 'hand'...

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Mark Smith
