Public bug reported: If the nova password has been set, trying to set it again (with the purpose of re-setting the password) fails. Both the nova set-password command (couldn't find the counterpart in the openstack server help) as posting the password from inside the instance.
This code seems to not have a retry, if the password is set it returns an error if meta_data.password: raise exc.HTTPConflict() https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/metadata/password.py#L65 I'm running libvirt with KVM/qemu on Ocata. This bug is not related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1757061, that is the effect that happens after a password set fails. Could this be changed to allow password changing/resetting if a password has already been set? For example by accepting an HTTP DELETE request or allowing an empty password to trigger the reset?
