Let's make this more explicit:

  mount.cifs //server/share /home/amitf/mount_point -o 'username=amitf%mypassword'

Or even slightly more verbose:

  mount.cifs //server/share /home/amitf/mount_point --verbose -o 'username=amitf%mypassword'

BTW: the man page mentioned in that message refers to the option
'username' as deprecated, IIRC.
