Reinstalled the workflow manager then rejoined to WF farm.
Approval Workflow is not working in SharePoint2013. Giving error - "Sorry, something went wrong, An unexpected error has occurred"

Background:
Service account domain password was forced to be updated.

I tried to update as many as password associated with the account:

  • Sharepoint services
  • Update account in the central admin
  • Application pools

I left the WF farm and uninstall it then reinstall to reconnect to DB but once got connected workflow seems not to be working.

    @Arthur Chang Jr ,

    Stop workflow service then update the password like this.

    For Service Bus: 

    Import-Module ServiceBus  
Stop-SBHost  
$mypassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'yourpassword' -AsPlainText -Force  
Update-SBHost -RunAsPassword $mypassword  
Start-SBHost

    For WorkFlow: 

    Stop-WFHost  
$mypassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -string 'yourpassword' -force –AsPlainText;  
Update-WFHost -RunAsPassword $mypassword  
Start-WFHost
