Change the password and username for my website
What email/username and password “for your website” are you talking about exactly? Client area credentials, hosting account credentials, the credentials to the admin panel of your website, or something else?
And more importantly, what’s stopping you from just changing them yourself?

I went to database php …→edit email and password → selected MD5→go→ came to infinity home →logged out→ when again I am trying to login infinity account with new password and email id →I cannot login now\but I can login WordPress with new one
I think that you are mixing up things.
It’s perfectly normal that if you reset a password from a database, only the password on your own website is changed. It’s not like that you can change a website you own and suddenly it also change a website that you don’t own.

Your client area profile, hosting account and WordPress admin interface all have their own authentication mechanism, which use their own credentials. This makes sense, given that a single client area profile can have multiple hosting accounts, and a single hosting account can have multiple websites.
Changing your WordPress password will only change the password for WordPress.
The client area password can be changed through the client area (in the Profile menu), and your hosting account password can be changed there too (through the Account Settings of the specific hosting account).

How can I have two admins for one website
OR
How to create two hosting account with different email id and password for same (one) website on infinity free
You cannot host the same website on two different hosting accounts.
However, multiple people can access the same hosting account by sharing the control panel credentials (the username and password of the hosting account). But all of them need to access the control panel with the same username and password.

What access does the other admin need?
If they just need to manage your website itself (create content, install and configure plugins, etc.), you can just add a second user to your WordPress site and give them those credentials without having to give them access to your client area or control panel.
If you really need to give them access to the underlying hosting account, then your only option is to share credentials with them. Adding secondary logins (with limited access) is only supported on premium hosting. Do be careful who you share the credentials with, they can completely destroy your site or worse with the hosting account credentials!
