Probably the user module.

But the problem with the user module is, that it is quite hard the debug.

You can try this:

- name: Update Root password

  user:

    name: root

    uid: 0

    gid: 0

    shell: /bin/bash

    password: "{{root_password_hash}}"

    home: /root

    update_password: always

    state: present

Set the variable root_passoword_hash in a vault file.
