how to change the password for thesse partitions

"cryptsetup luksAddKey" does that.

or I will do that manually one-by-one ?

Yes.

In fact, you can't change a LUKS password directly. First, you have to
add the new password, then you can remove the old one. See option
"luksKillSlot".

Note that those don't change the key used to encrypt the data. They change the keys that can be used to decrypt the actual keys. Depending on why you want to change the password, changing the key as above might not be good enough.
