If you used ldapsearch, most likely ACLs prevented you from reading the
userPassword attribute. Assuming these are the passwords you are talking
about (i.e., simple bind passwords, and not some sasl stuff).

Sure. Use ldapsearch with appropriate credentials that can read all the
userPassword attributes, or just use slapcat to create a "dump" file.

You can do whatever you want with the resulting ldif file.
