% % Hi,
Hi!
% % I need to generate a lowercase alphanumeric passwrord thats 8 characters

This isn't really a regular expression question, since you'd use an expression to check if a string matched your requirements but not to generate such a string.
A function should be easy: just loop 8 times over spitting out a random char between a and z or 0 and 9 (use rand() to generate a number between 0 and 35 and then map that to the char).
% % Thanks for your help
Enjoy :-)
