Bug Description

When entering a new disk password, the password is escaped. For example:

1. Select to erase operating system and encrypt disk
2. Enter password containing special characters, such as slash "\", for example: "password\\"
3. Observe, that after reboot actual password to unlock a disk (as you would need to type it) would be "password\", not "password\\"
