According to http://www.oddmuse.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Passwords, you can add a 
variable to the config file called $EditPass with a space separated list 
of passwords:

$EditPass

Default: empty

This is a string containing a list of passwords separated by whitespace. 
Thus, 'foo bar' defines two passwords, 'foo' and 'bar'. Any user having 
set one of these passwords is considered to be an editor for the wiki.
