When using debootstrap, or rpmstrap, then it would generally be
blank.
However many distributions do not allow remote root access to ssh
with an empty root password so this might not work. I'd suggest
either:
Always use --passwd, (or setting "passwd=1" in the config file).
or
Install an SSH key for each new image, as described in the
manual. ("xen-create-image --manual"; see the section
"THE SKELETON DIRECTORY")
If you installed via a copy, or tar file then the password
will be whatever it was set to in the source image.
