I think you can do that from inside directadmin.
with my theme im using there is a little figure in the top right corner,
(has like messages, login keys, login history, password)
click password and you should see "Current DirectAdmin Password:"
and "Enter new password:"
then 3 check boxes under where you enter the passwords,
DirectAdmin Account, Main FTP Account and Main Database Account.
i would advise making sure they are all checked though,
so they share the same master password.
"Can I change the password of MySQL database independently"
i assume you could do that but i would not advise it.
by only checking "Main Database Account"
the location of this option may depend on the theme you
are using for your directadmin.

You should not change the account password through DirectAdmin, it will resync when you login through the SSO panel to what you have there. With the new panel that is in development you will be able to change password.
For mysql, as being connected from a script, you should always create a separate mysql user and password rather then use the base account. For the base account it will always be the same password for mysql and account login.

I think you can use the forgotten password link to change your password; that seems to work.

The best way to successfully and safely change your password right now is how I did mine earlier today by going to their login page then click forgot. Go through the settings, change your password and login again.
Changing the account password through the DA is broken.
SQL, x10 and FTP are all separate different passwords unless you specifically specified for them to be the same one.
