Reset the VM password without needing to shut it down

Hello everyone,

Can CloudStack v19 reset the VM password without needing to shut it down? Or is there any other way to accomplish this?

By design it is not possible currently @tuanhoangth1603 because we don't run any agent in the guest VMs that can get real-time changes; the VM only gets the password/metadata (via cloud-init etc.) from the config drive or VR when the VM boots.
