You may have to double it twice -- once for recovery.conf and once for the actual usage in the connection. Thus for password abc'123 you would want to use: 'user=user_name password=abc''''123 host=primary_host' Or possibly even a combination of doubling and escaping: 'user=user_name password=abc\''123 host=primary_host' or: 'user=user_name password=abc\\''123 host=primary_host' This is just conjecture. I don't use this method of recovery myself. HTH.
