Hello Jeff, Actually to reset password you need to power-off VM first. Then after start-up it picks up new password from VR. If you create VM from password-enabled template then you should get it immediately upon VM start-up.
Whether Windows have to log-in automatically or not -- depends on windows OS settings. This issue seems does not belong to Cloudstack or KVM hypervisor. Check your template OS. I don't see any problems related to CS here.

It works fine except that it only sets the password for the VM after rebooting it once. When the machine first starts up, there is garbled output in the Cloud Instance Manager logs. For example "Added DHCP server: i#x" After rebooting the machine, Cloud Instance Manager works and the password is set. Also on the first boot it is trying to auto-login but failing with the wrong password, if that helps. Any ideas? Thanks, Jeff
