What is the motivation for this PR? The PTF container is always using default password. If the PTF container is on same bridge with the host server's management IP, then it is easily accessible from other host servers. This is not secure enough. We need to support alternate password for the PTF container and password rotation. How did you do it? This change improved the ansible related code to support accessing the PTF containers using the multi_ssh_pass ansible plugin. Then we can specify alternate passwords for the PTF container. When alternate passwords are specified, the default password of PTF container is updated after PTF creation. How did you verify/test it? Tested remove-topo/add-topo/restart-ptf on KVM and physical testbed.

Any platform specific information?
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
