Libvirt is only concerned with what virtual hardware you present to the
guest, not with the OS running in that guest or what username/password
combinations will let you log into that guest OS.  libguestfs may be
able to do some introspection for learning usernames, and also has the
ability to create guest clones where you control the usernames and
passwords to be used in the new guest.  But it is up to you to manage
your VMs to where you know what username/password pairs are stored for a
given guest image.
