The various OpenStack services and the required software like the database and the Messaging server have to be password protected. These passwords are needed when configuring a service and then again to access the service. You have to choose a random password while configuring the service and later remember to use the same password when accessing it. To generate a list of passwords, you can use the pwgen program to generate a list of passwords or take the output of:
$ openssl rand -hex 10
