When you start a virtual machine (or "instance") there is no password for admin or root account on the VM, and no one can log in to it using a password. We do this for security reasons: You would not want a hacker to be able to access the brand new VM you just started using some default password. Therefore OpenStack will create your VM with one SSH public key installed, and you can only log in to it with that SSH key pair. You can either import an existing SSH key pair through OpenStack, or you can create a new pair. | |||
In order to manage your key pair, click on “Access & Security” from the left menu, then on the “Key Pairs” tab. | |||
