If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that you don't
need to.  The random passwords generated at install time are just that:
randomly generated passwords, and nothing more.  However, you can use
whatever you want as Bacula passwords.

1 is a valid (though possibly inadvisable) password.
bandersnatch is a valid password.
This is a valid password, including the quotes, is a valid password.
For that matter, so is This is not my password.

The thing to remember is that these passwords are never sent across the
network in clear.  So, while the initial passwords generated when you
install Bacula LOOK encrypted, they are not in fact encrypted, and don't
have to be encrypted; they're just random strings.
