Try enclosing the password in quotes.
Same problem occurs if you try to create a user using the password you have given.
SQL> create user abc identified by abc!;
create user abc identified by abc!
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
SQL> create user abc identified by "abc!" ;
User created.
To create the database link, try this:
SQL> CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK "CTM_BANK" CONNECT TO "ABC"
2 IDENTIFIED BY "abc!"
3 USING 'database' ;
Database link created.
Hope that helps!
Regards.
