Bash is interpreting the # as a comment, and is probably interpreting =
the & sign as a history item.  You're going to need to escape the # and =
probably & with backslashes, like:

rdesktop -u username -p 123Rt\&\#t24 -f IP_ADDRESS

There may need to be quotes involved: "123Rt\&\#t24"

It's possible that enclosing the whole thing in apostrophes might work =
too:  '123Rt&#t24'.
