It's been a while, but let's see if I remember this:
1) you need to base64 encode your password
2) You need to load it over a secure channel for ADAM users (unless you've
disabled the requirement to do password mod's over a secure channel)

I think if you cover those two bases that'll do it, but let me know (you too
Dmitri! ;)) if I forgot anything. I don't do this often.
