It uses http query of the virtual router. But it does it on boot up. Otherwise you have this nasty service polling the router all of the time on the guest, and the last thing we want is to run services on your VM. Even the init script in itself is perhaps going too far for what cloudstack should provide.
I do agree though that if someone wants to create *their own* service based on cloud-set-guest-password they should be allowed to reset the password while the VM is up. This could maybe be a global config option, to toggle on and off whether a vm is required to be shut down, or like you say, just remind the user that they may need to reboot to pick up the password.
