I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.
To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.
If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.
Examples
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\"(finds all files opened from drivee:\"c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

You cannot change FTP user password, using FTP client, just like you cannot change your e-mail password using Outlook / Thunderbird.
You have to log in to linux server to do that. Most common setup is to use standart unix user accounts for FTP. For SQL / LDAP based auth schemas, please refer to manual.
You can try login with SSH (For windows enviroment ( recommend Putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/). When logged in, just type passwd (enter) into command promt, then enter your current password, then new one.
Another way is to login into server using root user / user with sudo privileges and type (sudo) passwd [username], and change password then.
