Hi,
sometimes I am wondering that basic windows administrative tasks are not known to the people working every day with the operating system.
You have several possibilities to change the password of a user:
After you changed the password of a users you need to perform following additional actions:
This Actions have to be performed on every computer (of the domain)
After changing a password in such a complex scenario (specially when running in a domain) you often have the problem that this changed account is locked. The root cause of the locking is that there are login attempts using the old credentials which all will last in logon failures. If the logon attempts during a certain time are higher than a allowed number defined in Domain Policy (may be the default is something like 6 failure attempts in 30 Minutes) the account will be locked by the operating system for a certain time (defineable in the Group Policies of the domain).
The source of the account locks is very hard to identify. It may be:
As you can see, it is less critical to change the password of a user not used for running services or scheduled tasks and not used by other users for accessing UNC paths.

Hallo Peter,
In this case could you please help prakaash muthusamy how to change the passwords correctly? This information would be very useful for others as well.

Prakaash,
You can change the passwords, but also make sure to update the password for any services that are starting with the users. The SAP services are likely started with sapservice<sid>. There may be other services started with windows admin. Also, check any batch jobs that run where password is entered.
maybe an issue if you have TREX: Note 1036078 - TREX 7.0/7.1:<SAPSID>adm/SAPService<SAPSID> password change
Of course, test in sandbox first.
