Exactly, that's why most people here probably wont and shouldn't help you with this.

If you want a random password for general purposes then simply just do a hash of the current date, time and microtime. The following is an example:
echo substr(hash('sha1',date('d F Y G i s u')),0,10);
But if you are trying to hack into a school network like you have mentioned then try the following:
//settings
$chars="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$minchars=8;
$maxchars=10;
//rest of script
$escapecharplus=0;
$repeat=mt_rand($minchars,$maxchars);
while ($escapecharplus<$repeat)
{
$randomword.=$chars[mt_rand(1, strlen($chars)-1)];
$escapecharplus+=1;
}
//display random word
echo $randomword;
The above code is what I used in my sha1 cracker.

Well if you are trying to get an admin password then wouldn't the most logical thing be to first work out how to communicate with their proxy server (probably sockets). Then to do a password injection into their system so there is a new account then when you go to use their computers simply use the admin password you injected into their system. I hear that is how most online hackers hack into websites.

Yer but im 16 and the only languages I know are PHP, Perl, Python and C# I also think that creating a new user might make them find out. Or proxy is highly monitored.
I have not yet mentioned to use a different language. What sockets are is just another part of php which can be found out at http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-create.php Although I have never used php sockets before, from what I have read, the opening connection will look something like the following:
$ipaddress='';// server ip address
$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, tcp);
socket_connect($socket,$ipaddress, 80);
Then after that connection established you can do whatever communications with the server using php sockets.

Turns out in the days of the first "super computers" some mathematicians determined if a "hacker" could have full access of the computer, every 30 days or so, they probability wise would generate a successful login attempt.
Hence they set forward to make users change their passwords every 30 days...
alright back on topic.
That will soon change in year 2011. IBM will be releasing a supercomputer the size of a large house with 20 petaflops, 1.6 million processors, 1.6 TB of memory with Linux. Check out the article at http://www.pcworld.com/article/159150/ibm_readies_monster_supercomputer.html I wonder how this new supercomputer would work on my new computer games. It is said that it will be 20 times faster than any supercomputer that exists today. That would mean instead of taking 31 days to find the correct password it would only take 2 days. What would the world do without supercomputers.
