[one-users] Cannot log in to Ubuntu 12.04 image on Marketplace

Hi,
I'm trying to log in to this virtual machine that I downloaded from the marketplace:
https://marketplace.c12g.com/appliance/4fc76a938fb81d3517000001
Contextualisation of the network works fine, after instantiating the virtual machine I see it appearing on IP address 10.0.0.13. But no matter what I try, I cannot log in.
Can someone explain to me exactly what I need to do to set up a user account in this virtual machine (or even just to be able to log in?). I understand that I need to configure the SSH_PUBLIC_KEY parameter in the contextualisation section, but I do not understand which key I need to put in there. I used the public key of my "kvmuser" account on the host, but I am unable to SSH into the virtual machine with this user; it keeps asking for a password.
I also see that there is a parameter called "USERNAME" but I do not understand how I can configure the password for this user during contextualisation. Logging in with a blank password does not work, and neither does the password as set on the host.
I have the impression I'm not getting a crucial part of contextualisation. Can someone point me in the right direction?
This is my VM template:
