I did use what Dave described once in the past in fact and it works pretty good.
Just a suggestion, for security purposes just so that the value is not stored, create the guid in a display only field and use that field to notify the user of the password. So when the password is set it is set and stored as an encrypted value but the clear value is emailed to the user. Also its usually the end few characters of the guid that changes, so do not use the left side of that string but rather the right side of it to make sure that the same password is not generated for 2 consecutive users.

Ugly is good. I didn't know we could tap into the guid generator. I see how it works on Email templates but will have to figure out how it could work for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

You could trim it to a set length that would be shorter than the original length of the guid.

I need to create password values to set into two fields via an active link button. These are not used for Remedy logins. I downloaded the password generator on Gidd's site but it only does alpha/numeric with no special characters. It has to be something I can use with the User Tool, not the web tool. I'd really like to automate it. Click the button and the field has the password ... whaalaa. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks for your help ...
