Jeff,
Try to reset password for existing VM. Will it take 2 reboots?
There is may be a problem with Cloud Instance Manager. It is quite old
- as I have checked at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloudstack/files/Password%20Management%20Scripts/
it is almost 4 years old.
Vadim.

Hi,
This is specifically for when the VM first starts up. Don't think it is
specifically a CloudStack problem, it's more of a question about how to
properly configure the Cloud Instance Manager. Basically when the machine first
starts up, it tries to auto-login (despite no registry setting for that), but
fails due to invalid password. The password to log in is the default password
from when I created the template. Cloud Instance Manager has the garbled output
I described in the first post. If I reboot the machine, it starts up and Cloud
Instance Manager works fine, and thus I can log in with the CloudStack-set
password.
