Re (2): For passwords, I would think doing anything other than printable ASCII is very likely to run into problems when using/entering the password. There can even still be some restrictions (depending on the password processor) that disallow parts of printable ASCII, e.g. disallowing anything that is not a letter or number. --William > FromCharacterCode[%] > > works but I cannot reproduce the result using Alt plus the ASCII > number given by RandomInteger[{1, 256}, 25] on my new TOSHIBA > Satellite machine; original factory settings for the U.S. and QWERTY > keybord. > > 1.
