To use Console password you need to use Console {} resource in
bconsole.conf file. You can see example configuration in the documentation:
https://www.bacula.org/11.0.x-manuals/en/main/Console_Configuration.html#SECTION0026400000000000000000
For this case in the bconsole.conf file the most important is to put the
console name and the password in a new Console resource instead of in the
Director resource.

To better understand the tray monitor, you can try to visit "Monitor
Configuration" chapter here:
https://www.bacula.org/11.0.x-manuals/en/main/Monitor_Configuration.html
