Shows the encrypted administrative password. Also, clears the encrypted administrative password for a server, which removes it from the metadata server.
.. rest_method:: GET /servers/{server_id}/os-server-password
Shows the administrative password for a server.
This operation calls the metadata service to query metadata information and does not read password information from the server itself.
The password saved in the metadata service is typically encrypted using the public SSH key injected into this server, so the SSH private key is needed to read the password.
Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role or the owner
of the server to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these
permissions through the policy.json file.

Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404)
