i have a trouble of creating a password.. It says "The

I have tried everything and still doesn't get to work.
You might try a command like this:
</dev/urandom tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9@#*()+={}/?~;,.-_' | head -c 60
Of course, you can change the password length (here 60) and the
characters enclosed in the single quotation marks to match your
requirements.

That's sick. I like it. }:->

The last three characters of the argument to tr(1) specify a range. Was
that intentional?

And, I believe you have missed some printing characters (85 vs. 94):
2022-04-03 21:26:14 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ perl -e 'print chr for 0 .. 127' | tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9@#*()+={}/?~;,.-_'
#()*+,./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{}~
2022-04-03 21:26:42 dpchrist@tinkywinky ~
$ perl -e 'print chr for 0 .. 127' | tr -dc '[:graph:]'
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
But, 384+ bits of entropy ought to be secure for the foreseeable future.
(Just don't ask me to type the generated passwords.)
