That's a good thing to do, but only after the server has patched openssl and changed its certificate. Otherwise someone could have captured the private key and other information that could be used to eavesdrop your newly changed password.

Also not every site is vulnerable. Debian oldstable its not affected because its openssl version is older than when the bug was introduced. Microsoft IIS is, as far as known, also not vulnerable, etc.
