Answer 1

I suggest using Apache Directory Studio to manage your LDAP directory. It should help avoiding that sort of problem.

Answer 2

In Apache Directory Studio, you can change a user password by double clicking the userPassword attribute description. This will open the Password Editor, where you can verify the current password or enter a new password.
