In the likely common event that we forgot the old password of an specific user, we need to reset it.\

Note we need to use the **root** password (_admin_ by default) in the last query ("Enter LDAP Password") to reset an user's password.

If we want to change the password as the user marisa, we need to use the user's _plain password_ we entered when we created it:
```
root@example:/etc/ldap# ldappasswd -H ldap:/// -x -D "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com" -w _plain password_ -s newpassword "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com"
```
With this commmand we changed the user marisa password's from _plain password_ to literally "newpassword", change this as needed.
