Just because you are a system administrator does not mean that you should have knowledge of every password in an environment you administer. The key to password management is crucial in any environment. An administrator should have all the capabilities to effectively manage passwords and credentials without having knowledge of actual passwords or credentials. Using an algorithm which does not introduce entropy when a password is generated is obfuscation at best, so using a home grown algorithm will not work. Look into using identity management, and implement/develop something similar by yourself using your cerebrum cortex, which will effectively address your environment.
