Passphrases in crypttab(5) are for disks, disk partitions, virtual devices, etc., and are unrelated to user passwords. Changing one does not affect the other, and vice versa.
If you are using LUKS to encrypt a partition, LUKS supports more than one passphrase. See cryptsetup(8). To change the passphrase, I would add the new passphrase, reboot, and enter the new passphrase to verify. When you are confident the new passphrase works, delete the old passphrase.
