The clear text admin password management available in the instance creation "security" tab should be removed as it has been superseded in both Nova and Horizon by an encrypted password management.
Nova blueprint (Grizzly): https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/get-password
Horizon blueprint (Icehouse): https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/decrypt-and-display-vm-generated-password
Since this feature is now available in Horizon as well, providing an option for the users to specify the password is both misleading and non secure.
Furthermore, the "old"way of providing a clear text passwords works only on selected hypervisors and it does not work for Windows guests, which represent at the moment the main use case since SSH keypair authentication does not apply
