      Description

      When managing a SolusVM service (admin or client), there is a tab to change the root password.

      1. Update the root password box to add a link/button to Generate Password
        • This Generate Password button will open a modal to allow a password to be generated, as described in CORE-552
        • The password should be alphanumeric, i.e. lower-case and upper-case A-Z characters, and 0-9 characters
        • The password length appears to support anywhere from 6 to 50 characters, but we'll go with a 25 character length
        • After generating the password using the modal, it should update both the Password field and Confirm Password field and be saved accordingly upon submission

      When managing a SolusVM service, clients can reset the root password. Clients may choose a password that is rejected by SolusVM's API, or one that is very weak.

      Change this option so that Blesta generates a new password automatically.

      Currently clients click the "Change Password" button, then enter the new password twice and click "Change Password" button below that form. Instead of the "New Root Password" and "Confirm Root Password" fields, generate a new password here and display it instead.

      New Root Password
      PASSW0RD-GENERATED-HERE (Large text, possibly in a well)

      Replace the second "Change Password" button with a check box that says:

      [x] I have saved the above password
      [ SAVE BUTTON ]

      The checkbox must be checked before the password can be updated.

      This will solve both of these problems. We can generate a secure password, one that will not be rejected by SolusVM's API.

      I don't think anything needs to change on the admin side, we may wish admins to be able to set a specific password.
