In java we set endpoint in WebscriptSessionFactory and then get all the services from that factory only.
I think this is the problem over here as well you should not use

AuthenticationService authenticationService = new AuthenticationService();
You need to fetch that service from context where you had set the endpoint.

this.getAdministrationService().changePassword(username, oldPassword, newPassword);

The part that I was missing was the call to getAdministrationService()
