Ramifications of chaning admin password

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've recently updated my password policy and as a result I updated my admin
password to comply. When I did this I knew that there would be items
(backup jobs, scheduled tasks, etc.) that would now fail as they were setup
to run under the admin account, but with the old password. I tried to
remember everything, but indeed I forgot some items and those items all
failed to run successfully until I updated the password associated with the
job/task. I will be chaning this password frequently and wanted to know how
do people deal with this scenario? I suppose one scenario is to not change
the admin password, but that seems to defeat the purpose of updating my
password policy to make my network more secure. The other scenario is keep
a laundry list of the jobs affected by a change to the admin password and
just update all of them every time this occurs. This just seems like a
major pain. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
