Usually the best way to handle it is to use single quotes (') around the word with special characters. If that word itself contains single quotes, you can escape them with a backslash:

$ mysql -p 'p$s!w\'(d'

On some shells (having Bash in mind) a single quote delimited string simply can't contain single quotes and no character, not even the backslash, has special meaning. There you'd have to write $ mysql -p'p$s!w'\''(d' (i.e. three strings seamlessly joined together: 'p$s!w' and \' and '(d')
