This shows you how to get the DN of the admin user:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html-single/Using_the_Admin_Server/index.html#Administration_Server_Configuration-Access_Settings

Here is an example of how to set the password expiration so that it does 
not expire:
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W <<EOF
dn: <the dn of the admin user>
changetype: modify
replace: passwordExpirationTime
passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z
EOF
