Hi, Scott!<br><br>I knew that the password was already on the cirros image. However, we (Grid Dynamics engineers) faced a strange problem:<br>1) if an instance is launched without an ssh key, you can login using the password (generated by nova in our case);<br>
2) if an instance is launched _with_ an ssh key, you cannot login using either password or the ssh key.<br><br>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.<br>

</div>As Alexey pointed out, the password for cirros is "cubswin:)".<br>
The *user* is 'cirros'.<br>
<br>
So, to login with password auth:<br>
ssh cirros@<ip-address-here><br>
<br>
password-less ssh *should* work and should *not* depend on filesystem<br>
injection by nova. cirros will read the public keys specified from the<br>
metadata service and import them into the cirros user's account.<br>
<br>
You have to specify a key when you launch the instance either by:<br>
* nova boot --key_name KEYNAME<br>
or<br>
* euca-run-instances --key KEYNAME<br>
<br>
To debug why passwordless ssh is not working:<br>
* get the console output of the instance. It likely is complaining that<br>
it cannot find the metadata service.<br>
* ssh in with password auth and run 'ec2metadata --public-keys'. This<br>
will probably fail.<br>
<br>
Basically, I suspect that your metadata service is not available to the<br>
instance.<br>
