Hi,
I understand with the limitations of KVM why the nova change-root-password command doesn't work, but at the moment if you try and use it, it throws a massive ugly error
ERROR: InstancePasswordSetFailed_Remote: Failed to set admin password on 0def255e-9392-4b5b-adc3-97a182a990e5 because set_admin_password is not implemented by this driver.

At the very least it should be changed to be something a bit cleaner of an error. It would be *fantastic* if we could somehow support this functionality (as a lot of people want to make use of it), though I understand technically that's a very tall order (impossible maybe?).
Do we need to look at making cloud-init or some other package have an daemon running inside the instance that talks back to the outside openstack world for dynamic updates such as this? Something cross platform that could run in Windows as well (thinking of the future) would be neat, but obviously a lot of engineering time.

There seems to be some work going on upstream on this matter https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/get-password.
Not sure it completely fit's the bug but sees relevant - it is planned for Grizzly so setting the appropriate flags
Hi Graeme,
just making sure:
you wrote that "nova change-root-password command doesn't work"m but this command doesn't exist, but rather "nova root-password <UUID>"...
is it correct?
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated
files, follow the link below.
If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report.
