Umm, I don't know of a function already defined....but it shouldn't be that hard to
generate .....in pseudocode :
1.Create an array containing the lower case letters as well as the digits
2. Pick a random integer between 0 and 35 (n)
3. Retrieve the character in array[n]
4. Add to password string.
5. Loop through another seven times
