@ashokswain27 have you tried to enclose the password in double quotes? For example:

--password "U#*h$CpY>GiU7q9:.KJ6sncYVL|;"

[ashokswain27]

o365 login --authType password --userName "[email protected]" --password "U#h$CpY>GiU7q9:.KJ6sncYVL|;"
o365 login --authType password --userName [email protected] --password "U#h$CpY>GiU7q9:.KJ6sncYVL|;"

Yes, tried with double quotes. It shows the below error:
Invalid Command. Showing Help.

If you add the --debug option to the command line, can you see what's exactly going over the wire and if the password is altered in any way?

Sorry to comment on an old issue, but I noticed it was closed only due to lack of response.
This works if you enclose your password with single quotes, not double quotes
