I use a action from my controller:

public function changepasswordAction(Request $request) {
    $session = $request->getSession();

    if($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
        $old_pwd = $request->get('old_password');
        $new_pwd = $request->get('new_password');
        $user = $this->getUser();
        $encoder = $this->container->get('security.encoder_factory')->getEncoder($user);
        $old_pwd_encoded = $encoder->encodePassword($old_pwd, $user->getSalt());

        if($user->getPassword() != $old_pwd_encoded) {
            $session->getFlashBag()->set('error_msg', "Wrong old password!");
        } else {
            $new_pwd_encoded = $encoder->encodePassword($new_pwd, $user->getSalt());
            $user->setPassword($new_pwd_encoded);
            $manager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $manager->persist($user);

            $manager->flush();
            $session->getFlashBag()->set('success_msg', "Password change successfully!");
        }
        return $this->render('@adminlte/profile/change_password.html.twig');
    }

    return $this->render('@adminlte/profile/change_password.html.twig', array(

    ));
}
