Hi, the password contain "|" pipe command concatenation character.
At current level of development PeaZip stops any command line containing user-provided command directives characters (i.e. <, >, | ), even if used legitimately as in this case.
Of course in this example the character is quoted, so a correctly implemented system parser should not read that character as pipe request; PeaZip's internal parser for stopping potenitally dangerous commands should be improved to allow those cases.
Damnit. I have the exact same issue.
The archive was created under Windows7 and now I can't decrypt it under Linux. :(
Would be nice to have this fixed if possible. ;)
I'll try using p7zip for now.
It worked for me with "7z x archive.7z"

Fixed in new PeaZip versions, command parsing was improved to detect usage of special characters in password field.
