I think the OP means he/she is wanting to use bconsole on a Windows

It is definately possible and mostly a case of a good configuration. 
There's a bconsole.exe file in your bacula installation directory and 
per default there should be a bconsole.conf file with it.
On a 64-bit environment however the default exe's might look for their 
config under C:\ProgramData\Bacula\ so you might have to create or copy 
them there.
The password required to connect with bconsole is the director password 
and is set in that config file.

If everything in the config is correct and you still can't connect (not 
even with telnet) it's almost certainly a firewall or network related 
issue. Also, unless you set up bacula to use TLS for its connections 
there are no certificates involved at all, only a Director, SD and FD 
password set in the config files.

Kind regards,
Jeremy
