SSID pass with special characters do not work

[rb26]

Bonjour
It appears that passwords with special characters do not work.
I tested the wifi repeater with an esp8266-01.
Everything went well initially, except that the module cannot connect to the router.
Message obtained on the console:
16:13:52.907 -> disconnect from ssid RBSSID, reason 15
16:13:53.904 -> reconnect
16:13:53.904 -> state: 2 -> 0 (0)
16:13:54.036 -> scandone
16:13:54.036 -> state: 0 -> 2 (b0)
16:13:54.036 -> state: 2 -> 3 (0)
16:13:54.036 -> state: 3 -> 5 (10)
16:13:54.036 -> add 0
16:13:54.036 -> aid 8
16:13:54.036 -> cnt
16:14:00.275 -> state: 5 -> 2 (fc0)
16:14:00.275 -> rm 0
16:14:00.275 -> disconnect from ssid RBSSID, reason 15

In addition, I locked the config. without entering a new password and can no longer modify the config. because the default password is that of STA and it does not work.

I also tried to erase the program and the EPROM, and reload it, the hang is still present.
Is there a trick to completely reinit the ESP or do you have to put it in the trash and take a new one to test again?
Merci, cordialement

Nota: in #435, the kristian answer work fine pour resetting the esp,
I will now tried a new SSID password without special chars

After testing, I confirm that the problem comes from the presence of special characters in the password. The browser makes a urlencode for the GET protocol which modifies the transmitted string. Personally I rather use POST to avoid this problem.

Bonjour
there was a '%' character in the password, i escaped it '%' and now it works, slowly (maybe on esp-01s) but it works
