ARI UN/PW change trouble

Attempting to follow the directions here:

The very first line, fwconsole setting FPBX_ARI_USER <(redacted)> returns this:

-bash: !P: event not found

Is this expected; can I ignore and continue?

Are you leaving the <> brackets in place? Those need to not be there.

It returns the same thing with or without brackets.

The issue was symbols in the randomly generated username and password. I replaced them with numbers and letters and got this done.
