Playbook as follows

- hosts: all

  - name: Change root password

    user: name=test update_password=always password="test123"

Please help in resolve

The password entry for the user module is a crypted password, not a clear text one.

That will, on a relatively modern system, look something like
    $6$saltchars$passchars

for example:-
   $6$0JvQ1LLFESzA16.I$JVdKAIq0igudTq06BMqzT9rL1gRawMPwLr9U3/kBMKUqZdONfa0wubC89C35LKl3aE16CRH57BfGb4ygPLggL1

[Yes they really are that long]

See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/52108/how-to-create-sha512-password-hashes-on-command-line for some info on how to get crypted passwords.
