I believe that the admin password must be set on first boot by a tool like cloud-init. I would double check that your image has cloud-init installed and configured to set the root user password. It is possible that it may be configuring a non root user (like 'centos') isntead of root too.

If that all checks out I would look at your servers console log (hopefully that is working) as cloud-init should log the changes it is making and hopefully that give you a clue as to what is happening.

Finally you could update the image to bake in a user and password or ssh key and log in that way then debug what is going on from there. Might even want to start here depending on how easy it is for you to modify the image.
