Hi,

By using apex you can simply fetch account in query:-
  
List<account> acList=[select id, xyz from account];
if(acList.size()>0)
{
for(account a: acList){
a.xyz = 'default value';
}
}
      update aclist;

Hii Niks
Try Below Code 
List<account> lstAcc=[select id,Name, xyz__c from account];

list<Account> updatelist = new list<Account>();
for(account acc: lstAcc){
acc.xyz = 'default value';
updatelist.add(acc);
}
update updatelist ;

Can we do it using out of the box functionality ?? Question is like whenever a new account is created I want to update xyz with a constant value

Hii Nikis
You Can Try Trigger Or Method In The Image Shown Below 
trigger ConstantValue on Account (before insert) {
String DefaultValue = 'Test Value';   
if(Trigger.IsBefore && Tigger.IsInsert){
for(Account Acc:trigger.new){
Acc.xyz__c =  DefaultValue;
}
    }
Go To Object Manager Select Account Object Select xyz Field To Edit And Do As Shown In Image

Hi,

One of the ways is to create a trigger on Account:-
     
trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before inser) {
String valueOfDefault = 'Any Value';   
if(Trigger.IsBefore){
   if(Tigger.IsInsert){
     for(Account A:trigger.new){
         A.xyz =  valueOfDefault ;
       }
     }
   }
}
