AFAIK, you have to access to his image using your SSH key (configured from Horizon, if using OpenStack), all qcow2 images come with cloud-init to get ssh key from metadata server. User seems to be debian, and then sudo -i to grant root privileges.

 
If not working try with admin.

As a last resort, can you boot with "init=/bin/bash"? If so, you can
issue "mount -o remount,rw /" to remount the root filesystem as
read-write, then issue "passwd" to set root's password to whatever you
like. "sync" and "mount -o remount,ro /" will make the filesystem clean
again for when you ctrl+alt+del.

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.

Should we assume that for each username you tried in that list,
you also tested it with an empty password?

Cheers,
David.

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.
