Please add extra documentation for specifying password when using --encrypt-master-password and --encrypt-password in windows command line.

When using special characters in your password, you have to use double-quotes when passing it as an argument.

Doesn't work example: mvn.bat --encrypt-master-password a!$%^b
Does work example: mvn.bat --encrypt-master-password "a!$%^b"
