How to change admin password in Plone 2.5

I can try to explain it.

The admin user creates a new Zope instance.  At that moment
an
acl_users folder is made in the root zope folder.  The admin
user is
registered there.

Then the admin creates a Plone site, or even two plone
sites.  Plone
uses its own acl_users folder.  The user 'admin' is known
in the top
acl_users of Zope and can access any Plone site and also any
plain
Zope content in the entire instance.

A user that is added as Manager to the first Plone site
cannot manage
the second plone site and also not other Zope content.


Maybe the most clear use case for this is that you can host
several
Plone sites (e.g. for different customers) in one instance. 
They
won't like it if users who are registered on a different
site can
login to their own site, especially not when those users are
managers,
perhaps from a competitor.  Having a
users folder per plone site
helps here.
