Hi Christpher,

nova do not support Random Password generation for VM now.
And SSH key in nova is named 'keypair'. Before you create an VM, create a keypair first. Then using the keypair to create the VM.
When the VM become active, you can login into it using the kaypair.

Hoping this help you.

Thanks Tiantian, I was expecting an similar command like nova root-password "servername"(used for Xen compute) for KVM based computes.
