Hi,

We need to make changes only on Active node and then this change will be effective automatically on all passive nodes.

Step1: On active node, GO to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager
Step2: In SQL Server Configuration Manager, click SQL Server Services
Step3: Click Properties then click the Log On tab and select a Log on as account type
Step4: After selecting the new service startup account, click OK
Step5: Now, either take the SQL Server resource group offline and then bring it online or restart the server if you are running only single instance

If this is creating another error, try to use the following one
