Bug Description

The configuration option enable_instance_password is found in http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/compute-options-reference.html. It doesn't have much explanation though.
Current text: (BoolOpt) Allows use of instance password during server creation

Suggested revision:
(BoolOpt) When true, Compute creates a random password for the instance at create time. Users can get the password from the return value of API call for the instance creation (or through their Dashboard if the Dashboard returns the password visibly). Note that the password isn't stored anywhere, it is returned only once.
