Are you using Active Directory or local NAS accounts?
If you are using local NAS accounts, what happens when you go to the accounts page in the web ui, select the user, the choose settings, and change the user's password?
Though I don't use Time Machine, my understanding of the setup is that it simply uses the user's account credentials.

Are you saying that
- you can't find the setting?
- that it is grayed out?
- that you get an error when you reset it?
