Ive been trying to reset my BT Hub by holding in the reset button for 25 secs plus until light goes green. However when I come to enter my Plusnet username and password all I get is:-
The Broadband domain that you've entered is either incorrect or is not supported by your BT Smart Hub.
Can anybody help me please.

Switch off the Smarthub. Disconnect the DSL cable. Switch the router back on with the DSL cable disconnected. Input your Plusnet Username and Password then plug in your DSL cable whilst it is trying to connect.

https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/BT-Home-Hub-6-Smart-Hub-on-PlusNet/m-p/1415464#M312705

I don't know if it's a firmware update since your original post but if you start with a second hand pre-configured BT Smarthub the DSL cable must not be plugged in initially. If it's plugged in then before you can set up the Plusnet parameters the router tries to connect to the BT network and throws up the message reported by the OP. It's nothing to do with using special characters in the password, which I agree it will not cope with..
