Normally you define the admin account in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf 
hardcoded with password.
That is, you maybe can´t simply overwrite it then because LDAP needs
to know this "manager" binding before even access the LDAP database -
else you couldn´t add the first entry. So it won´t allow you to change it.

Hmmm. Don´t know if it´s true but it sounds logically :-)
