If you look into the bin directory under your otrs directory you will
find the file otrs.setPassword.
Its a perl file so you need to run it through a perl interpreter i.e.
Strawberry Perl that was installed by the OTRS installer.
Go to the otrs bin directory and try this from the coOTRS\OTRS\mmand line;

"c:\Program Files\OTRS\StrawberryPerl\perl\bin\perl.exe"
otrs.setPassword root@localhost <password>

That should do it.
