supply a binddn

ldappasswd -x -D 'cn=root,dc=palmchip,dc=com' -W

but my guess is that cn=root,dc=palmchip,dc=com is also your rootbinddn
specified in slapd.conf which would mean 2 things...

1 - rootbinddn doesn't need benefit from ACL's because rootbinddn is
super user
2 - rootbinddn password is set in slapd.conf and cannot be changed
except by changing slapd.conf and restarting slapd

Other things to consider...

fully integrating ldap with pam would simply allow a user to change
their password with the standard unix password command
