You need to use URL-encoded value if you're running API string through the browser.

URL-encode value for '#' is %23

Click here to find a reference of ASCII characters in URL-encoding form.

https://xx.xx.xx.xx:4444/webconsole/APIController?reqxml=<Request><Login><Username>apiadmin</Username><Password>password</Password></Login><remove><FirewallRule><name>%23Default_Network_Policy</name></FirewallRule></remove></Request>

However in XML file you can use '#'.

xml:

<Request>
<Login>
<Username>apiadmin</Username>
<Password>password</Password>
</Login>
<remove>
<FirewallRule>
<name>#Default_Network_Policy</name>
</FirewallRule>
</remove>
</Request>

You can also use encrypted password: <Password passwordform="encrypt">

Refer to the article below to generate an encrypted password for API.
