If you're using passwords of any type on your site, it is best to keep them random. That way they cannot be easily guessed at by intruders.

First, it's good to know a little about ASCII characters. Every character your keyboard can type is actually represented by a number. So the letter A is represented by 65. The letter Z is represented by 90. So all you need to do is generate a series of random numbers, each number between 65 and 90. That would give you a way to find the equivalent letters.

If you want to include numbers too, those are found between spots 48 and 57. I wouldn't use the spots between 57 and 65 - those are odd characters like colons.




So let's say you want to create a 7 character password that contains a random assortment of letters and numbers. You could do something like this:

VBScript is a graceful language and Windows Scripting Host cleans up after itself, so this is a compact version for simple usage - reducing code bloat is what small scripts are for.

Deletes all files and folders from a directory, including read-only and
hidden files and folders. DelAll starts in the directory you tell it,
removes all read-only and hidden attributes from all the files, removes
all of the subfolders and then all files therein. When DelAll is done,
you will be left in the directory from which you called DelAll. The
directory that you want cleaned will not be deleted.

KillProc will do a search of all the current processes and kill all that
match the name given. If the process name is misspelled, KillProc would
kill itself, based on the match. The 'find /v /i "KillProc"' part of the
search prevents KillProc from killing the CMD window it is running in.
