Please check if these documents could help:

Have a taken look at "ReportingServicesTools" > "Set-RsDataSourcePassword". If not my advise is to take a look at it.

Example is also provided in the comments

By the way, I will say to use shared datasource, which will lessen your maintenance in long term.

Thanks
