If you mean the directory manager password check this link :

http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:ResetDirMgrPassword

If you remember the password of your directory manager password you
can log with directory manager through the console and change the
admin user under o=netscaperoot or you can perform the following :


$  slappasswd -v -c '$1$%.8s' -h {CRYPT}
run the above  command and supply your new password, then copy the output

Then issue ldapmodify command:

$ ldapmodify -x -h localhost   -D"cn=Directory Manager" -W
dn : uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: 'paste clipboard'
