Computer sed special character replace

I need to do the following:

text in the format of:
Code:
ADDRESS=abcd123:1111

- abcd123:1111 is different on every system.

replace with: ADDRESS=localhost:2222

Code:
sed 's/ADDRESS=<What do I use here?>/ADDRESS=localhost:2222/g'

Everything I've tried ends up with:

Code:
ADDRESS=localhost:2222abcd123:1111

Thanks in advance.
