Password Enabled Templates

[Maurice Lawler]

Greetings:

Try as I might, I cannot seem to get the password reset tool to work with the instances created from a password enabled template.

From what I read all that is required is:

Use the following steps to begin the Linux OS installation:

1. Download the script file cloud-set-guest-password:
   • Linux: http://cloudstack.org/dl/cloud-set-guest-password
   • Windows: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloudstack/files/Password%20Management%20Scripts/CloudInstanceManager.msi/download
2. Copy this file to /etc/init.d.
   On some Linux distributions, copy the file to /etc/rc.d/init.d.
3. Run the following command to make the script executable:

   chmod +x /etc/init.d/cloud-set-guest-password

4. Depending on the Linux distribution, continue with the appropriate step.
   On Fedora, CentOS/RHEL, and Debian, run:

   chkconfig --add cloud-set-guest-password

Which I have done just fine, but suspended / stopping the instance and resetting root password does not work; along with that the system assigned root password does not take either.

Please advise.
