===Creating a new key pair===
When you start a virtual machine (also often referred to as an ''instance'' or a ''VM''),  there is no password for an admin or a root account on the virtual machine. This is for security reasons, so that no one can log in with a password (you wouldn't want a hacker to be able to access the brand new virtual machine you just started using some default password...).
