Dear Fei,
this is a well-known problem for solvent box equilibration.
Increase the initial distance between the water molecules and start with
a NVT simulation.
NVT allows you to find a somehow equilibrated structure with a wrong
density.
After that and under consideration of the final NVT snapshot, you can
probably perform some NPT without exploding pressure to achieve the
correct density.
Best regards,
Jens
