2.1.2.2. Server passwords

A password may be specified when creating the server via the optional adminPass attribute. The specified password must meet the complexity requirements set by your OpenStack Compute provider. The server may enter an ERROR state if the complexity requirements are not met. In this case, a client may issue a change password action to reset the server password.

If a password is not specified, a randomly generated password will be assigned and returned in the response object. This password is guaranteed to meet the security requirements set by the compute provider. For security reasons, the password will not be returned in subsequent GET calls.
