I have installed Openstack devstack Icehouse in my Ubuntu 13.10 VM. I have created an instance successfully using image saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img, and I am able to ping the associated floating Ip. But when I go to instance console it ask for login and password. And I don't know what is its login and password. Can someone please tell me where can I find its login and password? I have tried openstack login credentials as its login and password, but it didn't work.

I have other issues with instance console such as

1) Most of the time I am not able to type anything on console 2) Sometimes it shows booting from hard disk

can you try to login using ssh -i your_key.pem ubuntu@your_floating_ip?

From where can I get your_key.pem? What does "your_key.pem" represents?

your_key.pem is the private key to login your vm instance via ssh. you need to specify it when creating vm instance. if you have not create it yet, try the following command

nova keypair-add > your_key.pem

hello

first of all you need to add the rules like all-icmp and all-tcp rules to your instance 

nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0  (is used for PING)
nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0 (is used for SSH)

then try to ping and SSH to your instance. AS i have not tried on saucy-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img i have done it on cirros which takes default login details which they only provide like UNAME:cirros PWD:cubswin:). and i also used ubuntu image using private key.

please do check the documentation of image you trying to build.

The issue is resolved. I have removed the root password from the image and then created an instance from that image and then I am able to login into instance colsole
