If you mean to change the user on the boot up's password. simply click on Menu top left and type user. then click on User settings and from there you can change it.
For GUI, try
cryptsetup

Open in new window

For command line, try
cryptsetup luksChangeKey <volume>
< verify and confirm passphrase>

Open in new window
