Random Password | The initial password will be sent to you via email and Message Center on the console. |
SSH Key Pair | Disabled by default you can log in to the CVM using your username and password, but the initial password will still be sent to you via email and Message Center on the console. |
Custom Password | The password you set is the initial password. |
What should I do if I cannot receive the initial password via Message Center?
