SharePoint 2010 Tip

If you are using an Domain Credential that is not directly managed and changed by SharePoint, try using the below:

When changing a password ensure that you have the STSADM command all lined up. I have seen an issue where search failed to propogate the password to itself, in order to resolve this. Go into Central Administration managed accounts and change the password directly there (only after a failure).

This should resolve the issue, if it doesn't ensure the account is not disabled in AD and the password you have is correct.

 "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\user> -password <password>"
