Changing the SharePoint 2010 Admin Password in Window Based Authentication Mode, Reporting Service Account Configuration

(Changing the Password without configuring the steps for services below will cause “Service Unavailable Error” while “Page cannot be Displayed Error” if AppPool is not started.)
It is caused because either the password for the farm admin has expired or the user had changed the password.
1.      Change the Admin Password by Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Dlt -> Change a Password
2.      Go to Run -> Services.msc or Start -> Administrative Tools ->Services
3.      Go to the Services that use that admin account as log on
4.      Change the Password of all the Services using that account
5.      Restart the service if it was running already or if you want to start it.
6.      Go to IIS Manager ->Application Pools
7.      For each application pool running with the admin account
8.      Set the Password for admin
9.      Repeat the process for all the App Pools
10.  Reset IIS Web Server from cmd -> iisreset –noforce or restart it manually.
Reporting Service Account Configuration
1.                  The account must be part of administrators in the AD and on the local system if it is a  farm solution
2.                  From Services in Administrative Tools change the Logon admin to new Reporting service account
3.                  Change Reporting Service account in RSConfig.exe or config tool
4.                  Ensure backup of encryption key
5.                  In the Database menu on the left  ->Change Database -> Choose an existing report server Database -> Next
6.        
7.                  Choose the report server DB
8.                  Press next and complete the process then apply all changes and Exit.
9.                  Grant full permissions to the user to SQL Server
10.              Log off the system and log on again to ensure implementation of the changes
11.              Reporting Service integration in Central Admin
