Are you sure that you're running the latest virt-install -- because latest
does have that option.  If you refer to the manpages of the latest version:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=python-virtinst.git;a=blob;f=man/en/virt-install.pod.in#l633

I recommend you update your virt-install version in order to be able to use
that option, otherwise, you might be limited in your options.  You could add
a command that sets it manually by connecting to qemu (might be more
complicated).  If it's the same password, I think you could leave it in
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf

Let me know if this helps.
