Yes you can.
An RDC shortcut is a basic text file with all the settings needed for the remote connection. Open one in Notepad to see how it looks then use FileOpen/Read/Seek/Write/Close commands to create/edit the file from your installer

How I can I generate password hash?

What's the point of generating the hash with your program? You would have to pass the clear text password within your installer, do you really want to have that there?. Better to generate the RDP profile then either store it within your installer (it contains the hash) or use FileWrite commands to edit/add fields (in case you are generating multiple RDP shortcuts).
