Can't you people be more password creative?

Hello @FreeBooter,


Nice Script.

If you want to avoid incorrect user input [ Zero, Letters, Characters, etc ], where you have . . .

Code:

set /p len="Password Length: "

. . . change it to [ it will catch the VAST majority ] . . .

Code:

set "len="
set /p "len=Password Length: "
for /f "delims=0123456789" %%a in ("!len!") do (goto :Start)
if "!len!"==""  goto :Start
if "!len!"=="0" goto :Start

Also, and just my preference, I would use the line as follows as it is easier to troubleshoot . . .

Code:

set "alp=a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T A U V X Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"

I hope this helps.

Thanks, i have modified the script.

I have also coded batch script that can be use for setting Windows User Account with random password.

Code:

:: Setting Windows User Account with Random Password

@Echo Off & Cls


REM  --> Check for permissions
Reg query "HKU\S-1-5-19\Environment" 
REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 (
ECHO                 **************************************
ECHO                  Running Admin shell... Please wait...
ECHO                 **************************************

    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    set params = "%*:"=""
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~s0"" %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /B


:gotAdmin

CLS

 CHOICE /C YR /M "Press Y for Random Password, R to Remove Password."
 
 If %errorlevel% == 1 Goto :RandPW
 If %errorlevel% == 2 Goto :RemPW
