This is normal for cloud images. You need to setup a configuration iso using cloud-init tool which injects your user with admin priv and ssh key into the images.
Cloud images autogenerate a hashed root password on first boot.
If you read the manual/info page about them it is quite clear that they are unusable without user/key injection.

Thank you for the answer.
But I find it weird that the password is not published and nobody knows it.
If anybody will find it out, please reply to this topic.
Bye.
