    If your question is asking about how to change it, you can reference the article below. When logged in as wcadmin you can change the password in participant administration.

    If your question is asking "What is best practice on how frequently to change admin password?" that would be a question best answered by your security policies. 

    As for solr, you can login to the solr UI to validate and also review the indexing administration

    Thank you for the information.

    One thing we wanted to check is if the WCadmin credentials are used anywhere in Windchill like the solr module and similar cases

    What files we need to check to make sure that the password change will not affect any functionality of the system.

    Any information on this would be really helpful

    Thank you

    That depends on how your system was configured. Publishing and indexing could both be using wcadmin; or have separate accounts. The credentials for the publishing user are stored in the auth.properties file.
