Then click the Update button and the base station will save the change and possibly restart.

To change the Wireless access password, switch from the Base Station tab to the Wireless tab, and type in the new password twice. If managing the base station from a new machine, you will be promted for the Admin username and password. Once the Airport Utility opens, you will see the Devices screen, and should select the device you wish to manage by clicking the Edit button after selecting it.

If you will be managing the device wirelessly, you should first join the wireless network you plan to manage by entering the Wireless password when prompted. The Wireless password should be shared with users. The Admin password should not be shared with users. The Airport base station has two passwords: the Base Station Password to manage the Airport itself as an administrator, and the Wireless Password to permit access to the wireless network.

For those, you'll have to find a Mac with an old OS installed and look for version 5 or older of the Airport Utility. Note that the newest ( v6) version of the utility will not be able to access the oldest hardware. You can also manage your Airport on iOS if you download the AirPort Utility from the App Store.
