OpenStack creates your VM with one SSH public key installed and you can only log in using this SSH key pair. The SSH public key can either come from a key pair which you have already created on some other machine, or can be created by OpenStack. If you are using an existing key pair from a remote machine, you will need to import the SSH public key into OpenStack so that it can be injected into the newly created VM. Alternatively OpenStack can create a key pair for you, with the private key downloaded to your local machine. In order to manage your key pairs, click on ''Access & Security'' from the left menu, then on the ''Key Pairs'' tab. From here you will have the option of Importing an existing key pair, or creating a new key pair.
