Hi Mark,
there is no default password in the appliance so you have to configure it
via cloud-init or to manually force from the emergency mode.

If you are going to use cloud-init you could just decide to set the VM name
and the root password without automatically executing engine-setup there.
Can I ask why you want to avoid cloud-init?

thanks,
Simone
