You don't need to login to set a password with cloud-init. 
Cloud-init is looking for "external" configuration files during
boot.

Our suggestion is:
- Boot from the DVD (this works even inside VMware) and install the
  administration node/dashboard.
- Connect to the machine with a web browser. You need to wait some
  minutes until all containers for the dashboard are started. Create
  an account and login.
- Follow the instructions, how to install the additional cluster nodes
  from DVD with autoyast.
