Special Character in password I'm Trying to connect to a remote DB using Sqlplus, but  the password contains a special character (!).
The SID is working fine, but Sqlplus is complaining about it when I use the ! in the password 

/usr/lib/oracle/18.3/client64/bin/sqlplus -s bloth/hods!@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=remoteServer)(Port=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=SUDFR)))



  ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect


on the other hand, when I remove the special character I get 


  ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied


any idea how to fix that?
Works with single quotes.

[oracle@o71 ~]$ sqlplus u1/u1!@(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=o71.balazs.vm))(connect_data=(service_name=min18_o71)))
-bash: !@: event not found
[oracle@o71 ~]$ sqlplus 'u1/u1!@(description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=o71.balazs.vm))(connect_data=(service_name=min18_o71)))'
