OK.  So what should it look like?  Something like this, perhaps?

  access to userPassword

"It" is not a single rule, it's a whole policy. When you're designing ACIs for LDAP, it's typical to start with a rule that grants read access to all attributes except for passwords to all users. Then grant write access to "self" for the specific attributes you want them to be able to write. (Except, of course, that OpenLDAP stops at the first match in its config file, so you list these in reverse order)

The "Sample access control policy" present in the default OpenLDAP slapd.conf is not suitable for real world use.

A fairly minimal, secure set of ACIs for OpenLDAP would look like this:

access to attr=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by * none
access to attr=loginShell,homePhone,mobile,pager
        by self write
        by * read
access to *
        by * read
