This being a CentOS question, you'd be better off asking for help on the
centos-devel mailing list. Anyways, there is no root and no password login
for CentOS cloud images. That's the case for most (CentOS, Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu) community-built images which include the cloud-init package and
rely on a metadata service to provide a public SSH key for cloud-init to
fetch and inject into the instance. You need to create an SSH keypair in
OpenStack and specify the key name when launching an instance and then use
the private key to ssh to the instance, using user 'centos'.
