Hi Richard,
Cloudstack is working as expected at every steps you mentioned .

when your template is password enabled  then every time you reset password via 
CS and stop start the VM then router will push new password to the user VM .
If you want a VM with your set password then create a VM  with a template 
having no password enabled check . In that case when you login to VM and change 
then password via VM console then on stop start of VM the password will remain 
what you set via consol.

Hope it  helps to understand thing



Thanks

Check the logs on the relevant VR. If the password script does not
successfully send the acknowledgment that the password was saved it won't
get removed from the VR and be set on subsequent reboots.

Don't recall at the moment if is /var/log/cloud.log, /var/log/syslog, but
just look around.
