More Instructions for earlier builds:

Do not change the nsroot password directly on the NetScaler VPX instance. If you do so, the instance becomes unreachable from the Management Service.

To change a password, first create a new admin profile, and then modify the NetScaler instance, selecting this profile from the Admin Profile list. To change the password of NetScaler instances in a high availability setup, first change the password on the instance designated as the secondary node, and then change the password on the instance designated as the primary node. Remember to change the passwords only by using the Management Service.

For more information on how to create an Admin Profile on NetScaler SDX,  refer to the following Citrix Documentation - Create an admin profile.
