' All Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program

If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(chilkatGlob.LastErrorText)

' Set this equal to True if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
Dim bDigit As Boolean = True

' Set this equal to True if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.
Dim bUpperAndLower As Boolean = True

' The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.
Dim otherChars As String = "@#$%*"

' Exclude chars that appear similar to others:
Dim excludeChars As String = "iIlLoO0"

' Generate 8-character passwords:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
    Debug.WriteLine(fortuna.RandomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars))
