You've probably already done this, but to be safe may I ask if you first
set the passkey of the stack to the current password before attempting
to change the password itself?
I've encountered a few issues with the change to the more-secure method
of password protection used in v4.0, but IIRC what you describe here
should work as long as you have access to change the password, provided
by first setting the passkey.
