createuserwizard generated password too complex

I've setup a page for administrators to create user accounts, with

AutoGeneratePassword="true"

but the generated passwords are too complex..
for instance: D$WtUB+YL

I just need letters, one number and one special character.

Can anyone tell me where and how I configure a simpler password?

Thanks much

Autogenerated passwords are usually intended for only an initial login, afterwhich the user changes it to something they like. Is it that much of a problem that you want to write you own?

I definitely don't want to write my own, I was just hoping there was a config
setting I could use to tame down the generate password, all I need is 7
digits and 1 non- alphanumeric character. The generated password is really
intimidating for novice computer users which I expect a good part of my
audience to be. The reset password is even worse!

Thanks
