OpenLDAP use backend to deal with data storage. You will find all directory data stored under one of your current backend. It is not stored in a plain text file for security. All passwords are encrypted.

the file where set the password for administration is slapd.conf. you have two option:
text clear or encrypted follow what you must to do for password encrypted

slappasswd > generate the password
New password:
Re-enter new password:
{SSHA}lJjCgkZ2c9yT4Ze/T2xZ5oixPok2RSdD

Insert the key inside file slapd.conf as lines below

rootpw secret > must be put too
rootpw {SSHA}lJjCgkZ2c9yT4Ze/T2xZ5oixPok2RSdD
