How about simply generating a random password at RPM installation time, and noting
strongly in the comments of the default kickstart files that it is so?

kickstarts?
A future idea for /usr/bin/cobbler setup is probably to ask the user
what they want the default password for the sample kickstarts to be and
then add that to the sample kickstarts.
Ask for password does not match well with rpm install.
What about just take the hash from /etc/shadow from an existing user?
(either a cobbler user or simply root)
