It all depends on how you have setup your cloud. Most/many OpenStack clouds
DO NOT inject into the instance and the password feature is null and void.

Look at:

enable_instance_password = *True* (BoolOpt) Enables returning of the
instance password by the relevant server API calls such as create, rebuild
or rescue, If the hypervisor does not support password injection then the
password returned will not be correct


http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/list-of-compute-config-options.html
(or whatever version of the docs that related to your cloud particulars.)
