Thanks Gabor, we did find out how to do this with Futon. Jason explained how it's done, but it's *not* specific to IrisCouch. Works on any Couch.
Goto Configuration in Futon, then click "Add new section" and enter into the dialog: section = admins; option = admin; value = the new password Futon will either add an additional admin user or overwrite the existing password if the user exists.
