[RESOLVED] Help! Password Generator

Hi, so I am a student in Computer Programming, and I have a project due this morning.
I'm working on a password generator that fulfils these requirements:

Code must compile and run without crashing.

Program must explain what it will do and tell user what the acceptable
range of inputs is. Data validation of user input must be done.

Loop structure must be set up to generate characters. Characters
generated must be in the proper range and validated before being placed
in the array.

Candidate password must be tested on all five conditions. Successful
candidate must be converted to a String object for output.

Final output must show the valid generated password and tell how many
iterations it took to generate the password.

The problems I am having are that my program is:
- Restating the statement "Your password is".
- Outputting random characters that I did not put in the hex characters.

Here is my code for anyone who wants to look it over:

Start of Code

/**
* Program Name:T_H_PasswordGenerator.java
* Purpose: Generate a random password
* Coder:
**/

import java.util.Scanner;
public class T_H_PasswordGenerator
{

public static void main(String[] args)

{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int userChoice;
int randomHex;

// Tell the user what the program does.
System.out.println("This program will randomly generate a password for you");

// Prompt the user.
System.out.println("Please enter how many characters do you want in your password? (6 - 12 characters)");
userChoice = input.nextInt();

// Create hex characters.
char[] arrayHex = { 'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u',
'v','w','x','y','z','A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P',
'Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9',
'$','#','@','*','/','^' };


// Start of loop.

char [] passwordArray = new char[userChoice];

for(char i = 0; i < passwordArray.length; i++)
{
passwordArray[i] = (char)(Math.random() * 122 + 33);

System.out.print("your password is " + passwordArray[i] );
}

// End of loop.

}
}


End of Code

If anyone can help me, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Problem 1: The line which prints the password is inside the loop - so as the password array is populated with each character, it will be printed out.

Problem 2: You are populating the password array with random chars from the range 33 (!) to (33 + 122 = 155) - but characters above 126 are 8 bit characters and may well display as hieroglyphics.

It looks like you initialise an array with the legal characters so you should be selecting a random character from that array. Try generating a random number N between 0 and length of arrayHex, then add arrayHex[N] to the password array.

Thank you for replying!

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I'm a novice at this type of stuff. I know I have to put the statement outside of the loop, but then I have to make a new string, right?
