Generate a password with your lower security set of characters. Then upper
case randomizally some letters and finally inserts special chars at
randomized positions.
I don't know if you like the proposition, but it can help.

You certainly got a point there that I missed myself. Thanks for your
input.
Back to the drawing table :-)

Family Tree Mike skrev:>Your medium and complex modes do not force the generator to pick from the
other datasets, even though you add them to the list of random
characters. This means that in a given scenario, even if you pass in
"complex", you could get a password of "boogiewoogie" (just an example,
all from the lower case). Random doesn't guarantee one from each set, is
what I am getting at. Our company requres the complex set, but at least
one from each group.

Anything you guys reckon I missed out on?
'** CODE BEGIN

End If
Dim password As String = ""
Dim random As New Random
For i As Integer = 0 To Length
password += characters.Substring(random.Next(0,
characters.Length - 1), 1)
Next
Return password
