Sorry, the function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION gen_password(plenght smallint)
RETURNS bpchar AS
$BODY$

DECLARE
lValid_Consonant bpchar DEFAULT 'BCDFGHJKMNPRSTV';
lValid_Vowel bpchar DEFAULT 'AEIOUY';
lValid_Numbers bpchar DEFAULT '23456789';

lConsonant_Length smallint DEFAULT char_length(lValid_Consonant);
lVowel_Length smallint DEFAULT char_length(lValid_Vowel);
lNumbers_Length smallint DEFAULT char_length(lValid_Numbers);

lPassword bpchar DEFAULT '';

BEGIN
LOOP
IF ROUND(RANDOM()*3)<>1 THEN
lPassword:=lPassword||SUBSTRING(lValid_Consonant FROM
(ROUND(RANDOM()*(lConsonant_Length-1))+1)::integer FOR 1)||
SUBSTRING(lValid_Vowel FROM
(ROUND(RANDOM()*(lVowel_Length-1))+1)::integer FOR 1);
IF ROUND(RANDOM()*2)<>1 THEN
lPassword:=lPassword||SUBSTRING(lValid_Consonant FROM
(ROUND(RANDOM()*(lConsonant_Length-1))+1)::integer FOR 1);
END IF;
ELSE
lPassword:=lPassword||SUBSTRING(lValid_Numbers FROM
(ROUND(RANDOM()*(lNumbers_Length-1))+1)::integer FOR 1);
END IF;
IF char_length(lPassword) >= plenght THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
END LOOP;

RETURN SUBSTRING(lPassword FROM 1 FOR plenght);
END;

$BODY$
