There are various ways. One is as simple as:
<!--- All the letters of the alphabet plus the numbers (26 + 10) --->
<cfset radix=36>
<!--- Password length --->
<cfset length=8>
<cfset pwd="">
<!--- Etc. --->
<cfloop from=1 to=#length# index=i>
<cfset pwd = pwd & FormatBaseN(Rand()*radix,radix)>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>#pwd#</cfoutput>
