Hi, Scott! I knew that the password was already on the cirros image. However, we (Grid Dynamics engineers) faced a strange problem: 1) if an instance is launched without an ssh key, you can login using the password (generated by nova in our case); 2) if an instance is launched _with_ an ssh key, you cannot login using either password or the ssh key.
So, VM's filesystem synchronization can be a dark and tricky thing. That's why we are not guaranteed to login by password even if the password was stored in the image originally.
