I use two formats

ldappassword -x -D 'cn=Manager,o=yourdomain.com' -w yourrootpassword \
-s newuserpassword 'uid=user,ou=people,o=yourdomain.com'

with a acl that allows users to change their passwords like:

access to attr=userPassword
         by self write
I use

ldappassword -x -D 'uid=user,ou=people,o=yourdomain.com' \
-w OLDusrpassword -s newusrpassword 

Hope this helps,

ed
