Last week I completed installing HP Rapid Deployment, which includes Altiris 6.9(Build 365) SP1.  I attempted to deploy the default template for Windows 2008, which was successful.  When I went to login after the deployment, there was a password assigne to Administrator, but I have no idea what it is.

Try "altiris"

Try "altiris", otherwise look in the documentation as to how to set the default password.  It's usually in the answer file (unattend file).

"altiris" did not work, are

"altiris" did not work, are there any special characters used in it? 
The answer file is using an encrypted password. I did not set any of this.  It is "straight out of the box".

new answer file

I'd suggest setting up a new answer file with a password you know and redeploying it.

All default passwords using HP RDP is password in case you want it to be anything different you'll have to change it yourself :)
