Is there a way to make a program that can change a password in another?

Short Answer yes you can sorta
Long answer.
if you know exactly where the password is in the startup file you can write a program to take the hole program out edit that line and return it.If you don't know where the password is or what it is called then it becomes a extremely unlikely that you will edit the right line. you would most likely damage the target program.
If the password is stored on a different computer to the one you enter you user and pass into then there is slim to nill chance of getting it.

I know exactly where the password is and what it is. I just wanted to make it easier to change it.

well you want to use fs api to open the file. read it in as lines into a table. then change the correct line in the table. then write all the data from the table to the file again.

This lock can have its Password edited By the Patch program.
Patcher
You should be able to change the line the Patcher works with so it will work with your Lock. if you cane post your door code and i will make the ajustments
Spoiler
local user = "Random"
local password = "hello"
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Please Enter Password")
if password == read("*") then
break
end
end
print("Welcome User")
Patcher
Spoiler
local sFile = "startup"
local line = 2
local tLines = {}
if fs.exists(sFile) then
local file = io.open(sFile, "r" )
local sLine = file:read()
while sLine do
table.insert( tLines, sLine )
sLine = file:read()
end
file:close()
write("New Passwordn:")
local pWord = read()
tLines[line] = [[local password = "]]..pWord..[["]]
print("Password Changed")
file = io.open(sFile,"w")
for i = 1,#tLines do
file:write(tLines[i].."n")
end
file:close()
end
