Figure 7.1. Log In Screen
Enter the user name and password and then click Sign In.
The user name is admin and the password is stored as export OS_PASSWORD= in the ~/keystonerc_admin file. If you have enabled the demo Identity (Keystone) tenant, for example by running packstack --allinone, you should log into the Dashboard using the demo account instead of the admin account due to the ownership of the private and public networks. The demo password is stored as CONFIG_KEYSTONE_DEMO_PW in PackStack's answer file.
