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"
