'How to escape ampersand & in password in maven settings.xml

I have been given an ldap password which contains ampersand & . I am trying to use it in settings.xml and getting parsing issues. Till now I have tried

  1. replace & with &
  2. Replace password with <![CDATA[my&password]]>

Neither of these approaches worked. Can't pass it in command line as it is in too many places.

Any suggestions?
