ldap-database password

[Martin Schulte <schulte-martin@web.de>]

Hello,

i tried this
-------
   ldapsearch -d8 -x -h <username> -W -D 
"cn=admin,ou=People,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no -d8"
-------

and i called for an password. I tried the root password, this is the result
-------
   ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
-------

Is there an default password for the ldap database? If not, is it 
possible to change the ldap-password, somehow?

Thanks, Martin
