If binding with -x, you'll need to provide a bind dn (-D) and a password.

The error messages is briefly discussed in the OpenLDAP Administrator's
Guide (section H.17).

credentials. Once that succeeds, verify that your entry contains a
'userPassword' attribute, and that the user you are binding with has the
permissions to change it.
