You can use cloudbase -init tools -: https://cloudbase.it/cloudbase-init/ More details on -: http://blog.oddbit.com/2014/11/15/cre...
You can simply pass admin_pass in the metadata, e.g.:
nova boot --image <yourimage> --flavor 1 --meta admin_pass=<yourpassword> <instance_name>
Note: clear text passwords are not recommended for security reasons. We recommend to let cloudbase-init generate a random encrypted password that can be obtained with:
nova get-password <instance_name> <private_key_path>

Hi, With nova boot command use --userdata argument which supplies the cloudinit script(with desired username & password) at boot time.
