It's reccomended to login to the instance through SSH (--key-name).
Otherwise, it's possible to inject a cloud-config metadata file through 
the nova switch --user-data ./my_file, in order to set a password.
my_file would look like (note that the first line is not a comment, but 
it's required!):

#cloud-config
password: centos
chpasswd: { expire: False }

Here some cloud-config examples:

Hope this helps.
