You can't use a crypted password here (because kickstart would have to
be able to decrypt it to use it to login), but what you can do is login
to RHN and use the 'Activation Keys' feature to generate a key that will
allow you to register to your account without specifying the password at
all to rhnreg_ks, you will just use the activation key instead.
