How do I create a connection with a special character (!) in the password ?

Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris
SQL*Developer 3.1.0.6 on Windows 7

Due to security requirements our passwords contain an exclamation mark (!) but I can't get SQL*Developer to recognize it.

I've tried to put it in quotes, escaping it and even swearing at it but to no avail.

I get the famous ORA-1017-Invalid username/password

It seems to be no trouble for TOAD!!

Many thanks!
