You need to recode parts of register.asp to do this task. It wouldnt be hard, but it would have to be something custom coded by yourself.

Set up an array containing all the characters/numbers you'd want to use.
Then use the asp random command to generate a number between 0 and the length of the array -1

Use that number to add the character from the array to a string.

loop through the random - add character instructions x number of times to generate the id.

Set the username text box value to the generated id and disable the text box.

if i understand truely;

you can use ID for that

for example at register.asp you can change that code

'Read in the users details from the form
If strMode = "new" Then strUsername = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("name"), 1, 15))

with that

    'SQL to get the new Author_ID from the database
    strSQL = "SELECT " & strDBTop1 & " " & strDbTable & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID " & _
    "FROM " & strDbTable & "Author" & strDBNoLock & " " & _
    "ORDER BY " & strDbTable & "Author.Author_ID DESC" & strDBLimit1 & ";"

'Query database
rsCommon.Open strSQL, adoCon

If strMode = "new" Then strUsername = "a00000"& CLng(rsCommon("Author_ID"))

rsCommon.Close
