Maybe the shown error is misleading...

>>> $backends['ldapadmin'] = array(
>>>    'disabled' => true,
>>>    'name' => 'LDAP Server with Admin Bindings',
>>>    'preferred' => '',
>>>    'policy' => array(

With this configuration you'll bind as administrator to the Directory.
So at this point - if admindn and adminpw are correct - that shouldn't
cause an error.

But - afaics - you need to tell passwd how to build the userdn, there is
a related remark in backends.php

Please have a look at this thread:
