  DirectoryEntry parent = new DirectoryEntry(
  "LDAP://portal:389/OU=Portal Users,OU=PortalADAM,O=Portal,C=US",null, null, AuthenticationTypes.Secure);

  DirectoryEntry userAdd = parent.Children.Add(sUserName.ToString().Trim(), "user");

              using (userAdd)
              {

                  //user.Properties["msDS-UserAccountDisabled"].Value = false;
                  userAdd.Properties["displayName"].Value = sFirstName + " " + sLastName;
                  userAdd.Properties["givenName"].Value = sFirstName;

                  newUserEntry.RefreshCache();
                  string password1 = "password123";
                  newUserEntry.Invoke("SetOption", new object[] { ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_PORTNUMBER, 389 });
                  newUserEntry.Invoke("SetOption", new object[] { ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_METHOD, ADS_PASSWORD_ENCODE_CLEAR });

  Your password set looks pretty complicated: out of curiosity: why are you doing a refreshCache. Purpose :

  NewUserEntry.Invoke("SetOption", new object[] { ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_PORTNUMBER, 389 });
                  newUserEntry.Invoke("SetOption", new object[] { ADS_OPTION_PASSWORD_METHOD, ADS_PASSWORD_ENCODE_CLEAR });

  The folowing simple code should be fine:

  
  

  newUserEntry.AuthenticationType=AuthenticationTypes.Secure; // shoule be enough

  object[] passWord= new object[] {passworrd1}

  object[] retrunStat = newUSerEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", passWord);

  newUSerEntry.commitChnages();
