Open Stack

Get password only works if you have something in the guest generating the
encrypted password and posting it to the metadata server. Cloud-init for
windows (the primary use case) will do this for you. You can do something
similar for ubuntu using this script:

If cirros has usermod and openssl installed it may work there as well. Note
that you can pass the script in as userdata (see the comments at the end).
