This is something I wrote,
it should do the trick...
# BEGIN FILE RndStringGen.java
public final class RndStringGen {
private String rndstring;
public static void main (String [] args) {
// Create Object, call getPasswd and pring the password
// Call getPasswd with as argument the number of chars // you
want
in password
System.out.println(new RndStringGen().getPasswd(8));
} //
public String getPasswd(int length) {
StringBuffer strbuf = new StringBuffer(length);
for (int counter=0; counter<length; counter++) {
int i = (int) (1230 / 9 * Math.random());
/* Check for Bounderies to have nice characters
above 50, less then 123, and excluding a list of 'annoying characters.
*/
if (i<50) {
i+=50;
}
else {
if (i>123) {
i -=19;
}
} // if
// append character to String, and rerun the
loop
strbuf.append((char)i);
} //for
return strbuf.toString();
}//getPasswd
}//class
# END FILE
