Changing Passwords for Office SharePoint Server Accounts with STSADM
Server Farm Account
To update the server farm account, run the following stsadm command on the server that hosts the Central Administration Web site.
stsadm –o updatefarmcredentials –userlogin <domain/username> -password <new password>
You must then run the iisreset /noforce command to restart the application pool.
If you encounter a Service Unavailable error when you try to access the Central Administration Web site, you must also run the following stsadm command on every other server in your server farm.
stsadm –o updatefarmcredentials –userlogin <domain/username> -password <new password> -local
Other Application Pool Accounts
To update the application pool account, run the following stsadm command on the server that hosts the Central Administration Web site.
stsadm –o updateaccountpassword –userlogin <domain/username> -password <new password> -noadmin
You must then run the iisreset /noforce command to restart the application pool.
Search Service Accounts
You can use the following stsadm command to update the password for the Office SharePoint Server Search service.
stsadm –o osearch –farmserviceaccount <domain/username> -farmservicepassword <password>
Alternatively, you can reconfigure these accounts by using the Shared Services Administration section of the Central Administration Web site.
Shared Services Provider Accounts
If you change the password for an SSP account, you must update the account details by using either the Central Administration Web site or the stsadm command-line tool. You can use the following stsadm command to update an SSP account.
stsadm –o editssp –title <SSP name> -ssplogin <domain/username> -ssppassword <password>
You must then run the iisreset /noforce command to restart the SSP service.
