Become root via ssh or a terminal and then edit this file:

         /etc/racoon/psk.txt

This file has two field separated by at least one space. The first one is the Group name and the second is the Secret. Change them , keeping in mind that.

The changes will be picked up automatically a few seconds later. If you want to make sure, perform a:

        service racoon restart
