I had to boot from an .iso and mount up the filesystem to reset it. Also disabled selinux on reboot. If you find it out, please post, I'm curious myself.

I mounted it (by the ways of qemu-nbd and so forth) and chrooted into it. It seems like there are no accounts with a valid password in it..

Based on https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/641193 the root account is disabled but sudo is granted to the uid 'cloud-user'. Basically, it is configured to use cloud-init and be provisioned ssh keys.

If a root password is required, the KB recommends using 'guestfish --rw -a <image>', mounting the filesystem, and running vi against /etc/shadow.
