In the likely common event that we forgot the password of an specific user, we need to reset it.\
In this example we forgot the _plain password_ of the _uid_ marisa, we can reset it with this command:
```
root@example:/etc/ldap# ldappasswd -H ldap:/// -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -W -S "uid=marisa,ou=Supergirls,dc=example,dc=com"
New password: newpasswd
Re-enter new password: newpasswd
Enter LDAP Password: admin
```
Note we need to use the **root** password (_admin_ by default) in the last query ("Enter LDAP Password") to reset an user's password.
