I'm not having success with that truncated instance string, either:
$ dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" IDENTITY-DEMARCOHOME-COM directory_manager password_change
Error: Could not find configuration for instance: IDENTITY-DEMARCOHOME-COM

The instance is present. I can also see it on Cockpit's 389DS add in.
$ ls /etc/dirsrv
config  ds.keytab  schema  slapd-IDENTITY-DEMARCOHOME-COM  ssca

What is a simple way to verify I do have the correct password for directory manager?

dsconf expects instance name, not the whole 'slapd-...' part. Your
instance name would be IDENTITY-DEMARCOHOME-COME.
