Reset the cookie with the -c option to slapd when you start it on the slave 
server.

However, what you are doing is not supported for a reason.  You aren't 
supposed to be changing the dataset the slave is supposed to replicate like 
that without forcing a reload of the DB (which is what -c is going to 
essentially do).

It'd be interesting to be able to slapcat a master with a given set of 
permissions in place so you could just create an LDIF dump specific to that 
replica...
