How to handle "\" character in passwords in context variables?

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have a password which contains special character \ (backslash).
When I use the password at the component (tMSSQLInput) level by typing it in the password with extra escape characters, it is working.
for e.g. suppose my password is abcd\efg. When I type the password in Password textbox as "abcd\\efg" in component property, it is able to login to the MSSql server.
But when I define a context variable for password and use the variable in the component property, it is giving me error ie. login failed. I think this is because Talend is not taking the password in a proper way due to \ (backslash). I tried to prefix another \ in the context variable, but it is not working.
Is there any solution to this apart from changing the password itself?

Hi,
What's the login failed info? Password is invalid?
Is it working when you use implicit context load? Save a password with "\" in specified file and pass it into DB component setting?
