We actually could setup a Jenkins job to reset the root password of
slaves. A similar thing is done for rebooting stuck VMs:

    http://build.gluster.org/job/reboot-vm/
    https://github.com/justinclift/glusterfs_patch_acceptance_tests/blob/master/rax-reboot/reboot-slave.py

Resetting the root password seems pretty simple:

I might look into doing that over the weekend. But, in case someone
wants to have a go at it, please let me know :-)
