check the contents of /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab.conf,
it should have the new password. Also the hash found there
should be in /kolab/etc/openldap/slapd.conf entry rootpw.

You should run it as root.

I just tried it on Kolab Server/Openpkg 2.1rc1 on Debian GNU/Linux ppc
and the script changed the password, but OpenLDAP was not stopped
correctly and /kolab/bin/openpkg rc openldap stop would also not stop it.
After killing it manually and restarting, all was fine.
Can you retry and confirm?
If yes, please file a problem report with our tracker.

Thanks,
Bernhard
