It sounds as if there are either problems with your metadata service,
or you are using an image that does not have the appropriate support
for fetching openstack metadata.  As a diagnostic step, you could boot
a Cirros image
(http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_obtaining_images.html)
and boot that; the Cirros image permits password login on the console
and can be useful for diagnosing this sort of problem.

If you need to work with your existing image: Using the VNC console,
you can boot the systems into single-user mode (or use init=/bin/bash
if single-user mode also requires a password), at which point you can
perform diagnostics.  Rather than setting a root password, which may
not work correctly in this environment, you can enable the debug shell
on virtual terminal 9:

    ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/debug-shell.service \
      /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/debug-shell.service

Reboot your system and a root shell will be available on tty9
(alt-F9).
