Answer 1

You can try following command:

asadmin change-master-password --savemasterpassword=true domain1

When you are promted for the current password use 'changeit'.

Answer 2

I had changed the master password to something different than changeit but forgot to use the --savemasterpassword=true parameter. Then I tried to change it again and use the parameter, but I kept getting "Error changing password"

The solution that worked for me was to delete the file domains\domain1\config\domain-passwords. After that, the change-master-password command worked fine.
