Create a random password:


usage: CreatePasswd( 8,True,False)

Usage: cscript //nologo RandPass.vbs [password_length]|[?] [complexity] [uniqueness]

This script will generate a random password of X length. It will build the password from seed 'strings of increasing complexity.
1 - simple is the lower case alphabet, numbers 2-9 and !@#$%^&*() all randomly interspersed.
2 - complex is the same as the previous with the addition of UPPER case letters.
3 - insane is the same as the previous with the additional symbols of ,./?>;'[]}{\|~`:
The numbers 0 and 1 have been removed to avoid confusion with the letters O and L.

password_length should be a number between 4 and 127, although a limit of 14 is recommended for Win9x clients. Default is 7
complexity must be 1,2 or 3
uniqueness value of 0 will make each password character unique. A value of 1 [default] will allow repeated characters.

If you don't pass values at the command prompt, you will be prompted for each value.

This function takes a directory, and a "folder" search parameter.
If it finds the directory (either in single level, or any sub folder) it will return the relative path of that folder. "FALSE" if not found. Skips over files and "." and ".." directories. Recursive by default.
