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.
