There are a few solutions to your problem

Use a variable for the password

    set "password=b91A*9AIvPr%"
    net use \\192.168.40.40 /user:192.168.40.40\Administrator %password%

Use a special character escape sequence. Use a double percent symbol:

    net use \\192.168.40.40  /user:192.168.40.40\Administrator b91A*9AIvPr%%

Escape the quotations with ^:

    net use \\192.168.40.40  /user:192.168.40.40\Administrator ^"b91A*9AIvPr%^"
