Changing password is supposed to be possible using "virtuoso-t +pwdold
dba +pwdba $DBA_PW +pwddav $DBA_PW" but this method doesn't return any
information about whether the change succeeded. Because of this, we
can't test either if the current password is the default password.

The current solution is to run the service and issue a password change
through an SQL command, which provides a useful return value. The
problem is that requires us to expose for a short time the server with
the possibly default password.

There is also apparently no way to change the password if it is forgotten.

Upstream has been asked about it on virtuoso-users@
