Formatting the random new account password automatically generated to my liking

In WHMCS, when it's going to create a new account it automatically generates a random password for the new account. It's a hodge-podge and I'd like to format it to the way I used to assign random passwords for new accounts.

 

My format for new account passwords is: RJDxxxxx (where the x's are any number). So for example it would randomly generate a 5 digit number as the password and put the words "RJD" on the front. Here's an example: RJD84722

 

What file should I edit so I can make WHMCS use my formatting standard for creating random passwords that adheare to this standard I've defined?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Surely having a password 'standard' defeats the point of passwords being random.

 

If they all start the same then what's the point as a hacker already has half the password, all they need to do is hit your server with random numbers and there is a chance they get it right.

 

Using a random array of characters is much more secure than having a set way.

 

I understand wanting a standard for account names, but passwords is too risky, IMO, I am sure others agree.
