I'm assuming you mean the console admin user?

The admin is by default allowed to manage passwords, if you use the 
setup program and have it create your DIT for you.

There really is no way around ACIs for any user other than directory 
manager.  The setup program tries to be smart about adding the right 
ACIs to various places.  But if you import an LDIF file, you have to add 
the ACIs manually.
