Hello,

Reset the password of Farm account first in Active Directory(AD). 

Please try to execute below power shell on the server which have central Admin.

$securepassword = convertto-securestring "YourNewPassword" -asplaintext force 
$acc = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity "Account-Name"
Set-SPManagedAccount -Identity $acc ExistingPassword $securepassword -UseExistingPassword

If you get error in executing above power shell then

First check :-
timer job definitions, if there is any instance of SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition job. If this entry exists, delete this entry. 
Second check :-
Go To Services, Stop SharePoint 2010 Timer Service and update its credentials. Then re-start SPTimer service.

Again execute the above power shell script.

Thanks,
