You have to run  /opt/zope/utilities/zpasswd.py inside the top-level
directory of your Zope installation (installation from source) or
inside the folder containing Zopes 'var' folder (I think at least
Debian splits the Zope installation over several folders).

Btw. you don't have to reboot your machine (Linux is not Windows).
It is sufficient to restart Zope only.
