I have the following function:

```auto

<cfparam name="password" default="">

<cffunction name="passwordGen" returntype="string">
<cfloop index="loopCount" from="0" to="4">
<cfset passwordGen = #password# & #toString(RandRange(0,9))#>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn password>
</cffunction>

```

Currently it returns something along the lines of cfregister2ecfm1360396430$funcPASSWORDGEN@16c3ef9. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: I got it.
