Root users are governed by the root password policy and by default, their passwords never expire. To change a root user password, use the ldappasswordmodify tool.

Open a text editor and create a text file containing the new password.
For this example, name the file rootuser.txt.
```
$ echo password > rootuser.txt
```

To change the root user's password, run ldappasswordmodify.

$ bin/ldappasswordmodify --port 1389 --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager"\
  --bindPassword secret --newPasswordFile rootuser.txt

Remove the text file.
```
$ rm rootuser.txt
```
