The various OpenStack services and the required software like the database and the messaging server have to be password protected. You use these passwords when configuring a service and then again to access the service. You have to choose a password while configuring the service and later remember to use the same password when accessing it. Optionally, you can generate random passwords with the pwgen program. Or, to create passwords one at a time, use the output of this command repeatedly:
$ openssl rand -hex 10
