Hello,

In an OpenStack cloud, you should be able to rescue an instance (start the VM using a rescue image, with the former root disk attached to it). And then you can check what happened to the VM and can even reset the password using this "feature": https://4sysops.com/archives/forgot-the-administrator-password-the-sticky-keys-trick/

Thank you,
