Hello friends, today I will tell you about an error that we encounter when we run the Configuration Wizard in the SharePoint Server Side version and the solution to this error.

As you can see above, it will give an error stating that the account password on the SharePoint Central Admin side and the password of the user in the active directory do not match.

To solve this error, we first open the SharePoint PowerShell application as admin.

Set-SPManagedAccount -UeExistingPassword -Identity DOMAIN\SpAdminAccount

In the above powershell code, we run it by typing the username that gives the error instead of the domain and username in the “DOMAIN\SpAdminAccount” section.

After this process, it will ask for the current user password and we will enter the password here. This process may take a while.

Repair-SPManagedAccountDeployment

After completing this information without any problems, we need to run the code above to sync the passwords.

After this process, we reset by typing “IISRESET” and running it.

After completion, we run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard again and our problem will be solved.
