The SharePoint timer service unexpectedly stopped, now I need to reset it to default state because there is a change in login account and password. This is the reason that might be causing this issue.
How can I reset the timer service in this case?

couple of things to check: make sure you have the config cache folder exist? how many server in the farm? did you update the password in sharepoint central admin or u change it from services– Waqas Sarwar MVP ♦Commented Nov 10, 2015 at 13:48

Once you have changed the credentials, just restart the timer service. This will reset the credentials and apply the new ones.
Restating the service will not create any problems.

When I started service, in event log error is "timer service stop unexpectedly" Event ID: 7031 Event ID: 7024 in every two minute error description: Description: The SharePoint 2010 Timer service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 5969 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 30000 milliseconds: Restart the service. Commented Nov 10, 2015 at 5:59
You can go through the Url :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee704549.aspx
or you can apply this:
$farm = Get-SPFarm
$farm.TimerService.Instances | foreach { $_.Stop(); $_.Start(); }

You might want to try clearing the configuration cache.
The steps for doing this are posted on a few places on the web, here's a link to one: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
The steps are formatted and it'll take too long to copy and paste and reformat here, but essentially -
Stop the timer service
Go to
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\*GUID*Back up
Cache.iniDelete all the
.xmlfilesOpen
Cache.iniReplace the contents with the number
1Save the file
Start the timer service.
