Hi Tommy,

Try generating a new key-pair using the api, createSSHKeyPair.  And then us=
e the key-pair name you supplied for createSSHKeyPair as the value for para=
meter keypair while deploying the VM. Hope it helps.

Thank you,
Likitha

@alena : thank you very much for your help :). I tried to set keypair when =
deploying a vm, but it returns error message : A key pair with name 'my-gen=
erated-string' was not found. Am i supposed to do something first for this =
ssh keypair ? (i try supplying "ssh keypair" value with my auto-generated-s=
tring.

Sorry for the noob question, i'm a newbie in the cloud computing environmen=
t :)

Tommy,

The password is getting stored in the DB only when the user vm is deployed =
using SshKeyPair. So only in this case you can use getVMPassword api to ret=
rieve the password. I'll make sure the documentation is updated for this co=
mmand in the future release.

In your case, if you forgot the password returned to you on the confirmatio=
n box, you can always reset it using resetPasswordForVirtualMachine API
