The following should do what you want.
<!--- init password --->
<cfset password="">
<!--- Set maxlen for password --->
<cfset pwdlen=8>
<!--- Set number radix. 36 = 0...10 plus a...z (10 + 26) --->
<cfset radix=36>
<cfloop from=1 to=#pwdlen# index=i>
<cfset password=password & FormatBaseN(RandRange(1,radix),radix)>
</cfloop>
