             Summary: use PasswordGenerator.generateRandomPassword() to 
generate systemvm passwords
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-8868

      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.2

generateRandomPassword() is supposed to create root user passwords. Right now 
it is only used on the guest VMs. The format of the passwords it creates are of 
the form "random 3-character string with a lowercase character, uppercase 
character, and a digit" + random n-character string with only lowercase 
characters".

For whatever reason it was that we use generateRandomPassword() for guest VM 
root user passwords(maybe more secure?) we should use the same function for 
system VM root user passwords.
