If it is the enable password that you refer to it is set by the enable secret <new password> command from configuration mode. If it is not please get back with additional information so that we can understand what password it is that you want to change.

First question do you have access to device with config mode access to change password ?

Second is the user local or using any AAA servers ?

I SSH to the device using admin. Here is part of my config:

 

username admin privilege 15 secret 5

ip ssh time-out 90
ip ssh authentication-retries 2
ip ssh rsa keypair-name name2
ip ssh version 2

 

 

line vty 1 4
access-class 1 in
exec-timeout 1 30
privilege level 15
login local
transport preferred ssh
transport input ssh
line vty 5 10
access-class 1 in
exec-timeout 30 0
privilege level 15
login local
transport preferred ssh
transport input ssh

From configuration mode enter this username admin password <new password>

Try :

username admin1 priviledge 15 password *****

That should work as expected. below works for me all the time.  ( test with admin1 user)

line vty 0 15

privilege level 15

 

Note : what devices others you mentioned also working with out enable ? same ISR Routers ?

Seems like username admin1 priviledge 15 password *****  works but I have this message.

Command has been added to the configuration using a type 0 password. However, type 0 passwords will soon be deprecated. Migrate to a supported password type

for new user admin1 it works fine but when I want to change for admin I have:

ERROR: Can not have both a user password and a user secret.
Please choose one or the other.

 

So I have removed the admin and add it again with new password and now it works. Is there a way to secure these passwords? 

 

if your admin1 working then

try below :

config t

no username admin privilege 15 secret 5

username admin priviledge 15 password *****
