To update the farm account in SharePoint 2013:
In an elevated PowerShell command prompt:

stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin domain\account -password password

Change the values for domain/account and for password (in italics)

Hope that helps... be careful

Thanks, from which server I need to execute this command since we have two WFE,  two APP, two DB.

and does it required to restart the servers. Please advice

Thanks
It doesn't matter where you run the command, probably from the primary app sever would be best. Before you do this though, why are you doing this? You may have to restart the entire farm after you do this, so be very careful.
