Ideally your rescue image will support cloud-init and you would use a
config disk. For password injection to work you need inject_password=True,
inject_partition=-1 (*NOT* -2, which is the default), and for libguestfs to
be correctly installed on your compute hosts.

But to reiterate, ideally your rescue image would support cloud-init and
you would use a config disk.
