The way things work the DA password (and consequently the ftp password if you use the account username for that) will not get reset with the reset password on the account panel login function. It will not update when you change the password in your profile of the account panel either if you were wondering.

If you know the old password it may work with the account username for ftp, but the safest bet is to create an ftp account in DirectAdmin that you have control of the password for.

ADDITIONAL:
I just learnt they put in an option to change the DirectAdmin password into the account panel, if you navigate to services and click the service name you get that option.
