Changing System Author's password (OpenInsight Specific)

I am trying to change the system author's password programatically. I am using the Create_User routine with the overwrite flag like this.
Create_User("Author","New_Password",2,1)
It is failing. I am logged in as the system author at the time. However, the system author is not a simple system administrator. Is the 2 (system admin) causing the problem? There must be a way to change the password, OI does it from the database manager. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
TIA

I'm a bit confused as to what you are trying to do so I ran a few tests.
The site I'm at has a password on the system author and I don't know what it is. Also, the author is not the same name as the application name, which is who I usually log in as.
In running some tests, I found that logged in an any level 2 user, I could create any level of user. Logged in as a level 1 user, I could create a level 1 or level 0 user. Trying to modify a level 2 user gave a SSP116: Lower level user is not allowed to create/update attribute(s) of higher level user. error. Logged in as a level 0 user, I couldn't get to the system editor to run the program.
Don't know if it helps, but perhaps it's a rights problem or that the password does not fit into the 6/20 limit.
