XML - DTD - Special Characters

[admin]

I have this xml.. and the dtd is pasted below:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "http://shoptest-ar.itx.net/ASynch/spec_char.dtd"> <root> <record> <srv>text</srv> <database>text</database> <dblogin>text</dblogin> <dbpwd>astest</dbpwd> <login>login</login> <password>骵7(?</password> <option>1</option> <LastSync>06/08/2003 03:21:30 p.m.</LastSync> </record> </root>

When I try to load it using set xml_dom = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") I get the folowing error message: "An invalid character was found in text content." That's because of password which has special characters. What am I doing wrong? I want that characters to be accepted. They are always different. That xml is generated automatically when the user logs into the system.. The password is the one which the users enters but it is encrypted. Any idea, please? Thank you very much!
