[Sergio Rizzi]

root at samba4dc:~# samba-tool user setpassword "foo" --newpassword="�"
ERROR: Failed to set password for user 'foo': 'utf8' codec can't decode 
byte 0xa8 in position 1: invalid start byte
   File 
"/usr/local/samba-4.1.6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/user.py", 
line 586, in run
     username=username)
   File 
"/usr/local/samba-4.1.6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/samdb.py", 
line 476, in setpassword
     pw = unicode('"' + password + '"', 'utf-8').encode('utf-16-le')

How to fix it?
