The important point is really the number of ciffers/digits in the password:
the more the better. But generally a six-letter lowercase combination,
randomly generated should be OK as it allows for 308915776 different
passwords. You can include some VBS code to automatically generate
passwords, but if you are running a site with heavy duty security, you
should consider running such password generation against a database in order
to avoid duplicates (however unlikely that might be).
