I don't think that the director password in bacula-dir.conf is encrypted.
You can probably copy and paste it into the bacula-fd.conf on the client
(at least, this is what I have always been able to do on my setup).

At a guess, whether there is a default for the password probably depends upon
your distribution. But since you know where it is now, you might as well
change it if you don't like it.

Also, remember to restart your daemons when you make configuration changes.
If you are using a Windows client, you need to find the Services screen.
