You can make the password input in the registration and checkout process as a hidden input and have an algorithm that generates random values for it.
For example at registration you have these fields for passwords

<input type="password" name="password" id="password" title="<?php echo $this->__('Password') ?>" class="input-text required-entry validate-password" />

and

<input type="password" name="confirmation" title="<?php echo $this->__('Confirm Password') ?>" id="confirmation" class="input-text required-entry validate-cpassword" />

Turn them into this:

<?php $password = Mage::helper('core')->getRandomString($length = 7)?>

<input type="hidden" name="password" id="password" title="<?php echo $this->__('Password') ?>" class="input-text required-entry validate-password" value="<?php echo $password?>"  />

and

<input type="hidden" name="confirmation" title="<?php echo $this->__('Confirm Password') ?>" id="confirmation" class="input-text required-entry validate-cpassword" value="<?php echo $password?>" />

Magento – How to send set password email

Take a look at Magento Migrate customers with no password.

$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer');

$password = '123456';
$email = 'testuser@test.com';

$customer->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getWebsite()->getId());
$customer->loadByEmail($email);

if($customer->getId()) { // if customer does not already exists, by email

    $newPassword = $customer->generatePassword(); // generate a new password
    $customer->changePassword($newPassword); // set it
    $customer->save();    
}

Assuming that you want to use the default magento password template then take a look at app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/CustomerController.php

// Send welcome email
if ($customer->getWebsiteId() && (isset($data['account']['sendemail']) || $sendPassToEmail)) {
    $storeId = $customer->getSendemailStoreId();
    if ($isNewCustomer) {
        $customer->sendNewAccountEmail('registered', '', $storeId);
    } elseif ((!$customer->getConfirmation())) {
    // Confirm not confirmed customer
            $customer->sendNewAccountEmail('confirmed', '', $storeId);
    }
}

How to Edit Customer Account Confirmation Link in Email

Edited the confirmAction() in AccountController.php as follows:

public function confirmAction()
    {
        $session = $this->_getSession();
        if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
            $this->_getSession()->logout()->regenerateSessionId();
        }
        try {
            $id      = $this->getRequest()->getParam('id', false);
            $key     = $this->getRequest()->getParam('key', false);
            $backUrl = $this->getRequest()->getParam('back_url', false);
            if (empty($id) || empty($key)) {
                throw new Exception($this->__('Bad request.'));
            }

            // load customer by id (try/catch in case if it throws exceptions)
            try {
                $customer = $this->_getModel('customer/customer')->load($id);
                if ((!$customer) || (!$customer->getId())) {
                    throw new Exception('Failed to load customer by id.');
                }
            }
            catch (Exception $e) {
                throw new Exception($this->__('Wrong customer account specified.'));
            }

            // check if it is inactive
            if ($customer->getConfirmation()) {
                if ($customer->getConfirmation() !== $key) {
                    throw new Exception($this->__('Wrong confirmation key.'));
                }

                // activate customer
                try {
                    $customer->setConfirmation(null);
                    $customer->save();
                }
                catch (Exception $e) {
                    throw new Exception($this->__('Failed to confirm customer account.'));
                }

                $session->renewSession();
                // log in and send greeting email, then die happy
                $session->setCustomerAsLoggedIn($customer);
                $successUrl = $this->_welcomeCustomer($customer, true);
                $customUrl =  $this->_redirectSuccess(Mage::getBaseUrl());
                $this->_redirectSuccess($customUrl ? $customUrl : $successUrl);
                return;
            }

            // die happy
            $this->_redirectSuccess($this->_getUrl('*/*/index', array('_secure' => true)));
            return;
        }
        catch (Exception $e) {
            // die unhappy
            $this->_getSession()->addError($e->getMessage());
            $this->_redirectError($this->_getUrl('*/*/index', array('_secure' => true)));
            return;
        }
    }

$customUrl contains URL where I need to redirect the customer after clicking the confirmation link and confirm their account as well.
