Sharepoint 2013 Approval Workflow is not working in SharePoint2013. Giving error - "Sorry, something went wrong"

Reinstalled the workflow manager then rejoined to WF farm.
Approval Workflow is not working in SharePoint2013. Giving error - "Sorry, something went wrong, An unexpected error has occurred"

Background:
Service account domain password was forced to be updated.

I tried to update as many as password associated with the account:
- Sharepoint services
- Update account in the central admin
- Application pools

I left the WF farm and uninstall it then reinstall to reconnect to DB but once got connected workflow seems not to be working.

@ArthurChangJr-7825,

Stop workflow service then update the password like this.

For Service Bus:

 Import-Module ServiceBus
 Stop-SBHost
 $mypassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'yourpassword' -AsPlainText -Force
 Update-SBHost -RunAsPassword $mypassword
 Start-SBHost

For WorkFlow:

 Stop-WFHost
 $mypassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -string 'yourpassword' -force –AsPlainText;
 Update-WFHost -RunAsPassword $mypassword
 Start-WFHost

Hi,
I believed passwords has been changed since I was able to rejoin the workflow farm by entering the new password credentials. But workflow still now working still showing "something went wrong".

@ArthurChangJr-7825,

Does the issue occur when you create a new 2013 workflow after changing the account password?

Please feel free to reply.
