    There is no Exchange Admin Password. If you have an administrator's account with a mailbox, it was created after the fact and doesnt affect the functionality of Exchange.
    You can change this anytime,

    Hi @Simant Walia

    Yes, agree with Andy, and we could use the method introduced in this link to change the password for the account in Exchange server.

    How to Reset Exchange Mailbox Password?
    Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

    Administrators can easily reset the passwords from Active Directory Users and Computers. Select the Exchange mailbox whose password you want to reset and right-click on it. Select the Reset password option from the list. A dialogue box named Reset Password gets opened. In this, enter a new password (as per the password complexity requirements), confirm the new password by typing it again and select the checkbox (if required) and click OK.
