> generateRandomPassword() is supposed to create root user passwords. Right now
> it is only used on the guest VMs. The format of the passwords it creates are
> of the form "random 3-character string with a lowercase character, uppercase
> character, and a digit" + random n-character string with only lowercase
> characters".
> For whatever reason it was that we use generateRandomPassword() for guest VM
> root user passwords(maybe more secure?) we should use the same function for
> system VM root user passwords.
