So, I had this problem also and found this thread without answer. After another couple of minutes I found the configuration guide with the following:

you do not even need to go to the expert mode to do this:

> configure password

Hi, I found one for the 6.1 FTD Device Manager Version: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/610/fdm/fptd-fdm-config-guide-610/fptd-fdm-get-started.html#id_10215

Same CLI command "configure password" is also available when the sensor is managed with FMC, I tested this with the newest 6.2.2.1 Version.
