Seem like there is no such option, or could my option place it incorrectly ?

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.

You are right, there is such option, may i know what version of virt-install you are running ?

root@cloudnode2:~/new# virt-install --version

0.500.1

root@cloudnode2:~/new#
