Description

generateRandomPassword() is supposed to create root user passwords. Right now it is only used on the guest VMs. The format of the passwords it creates are of the form "random 3-character string with a lowercase character, uppercase character, and a digit" + random n-character string with only lowercase characters".

For whatever reason it was that we use generateRandomPassword() for guest VM root user passwords(maybe more secure?) we should use the same function for system VM root user passwords.
