  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.
