Bug Description

The documentation for the os-server-password nova v2 API extension is wrong. The "resets the administrative password for a specified server" should be a DELETE not a POST. ALso the description is a bit misleading as it doesn't actually reset the password, but clears the encrypted copy of the password in the metadata server (presumably this is done after the client has retrieved the password and knows it doesn't need it in the metadata server anymore). The password for the server remains the same.

Lastly the DELETE does not actually return any data.
