We use a simple powershell script that generates a random
Administrator password on first boot, pulls the SSH key from the
metadata server, encrypts the password with the key and writes the
encrypted password to the serial port.
The user retrieves the encrypted password through the nova
console-log and decrypts it with his private key. The image is setup
such that the user is prompted to change the (random) password the
first time he logs into the instance.
