{
        $punc = 40..60
        $digits = 48..57
        $letters = 65..90 + 97..122
        $password = get-random -count $length `
                -input ($punc + $digits + $letters) |
                        % -begin { $aa = $null } `
                        -process {$aa += [char]$_} `
                        -end {$aa}
        return $password
