Hi experts,

Have you tried changing palo alto password? I saw a module but its giving me an error:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/panos\_admpwd\_module.html#parameter-key\_filename](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/panos_admpwd_module.html#parameter-key_filename)

ansible-playbook panos\_pw\_test.yml -u ansible -k  
SSH password:  
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: panos\_admpwd is kept for backwards compatibility but usage is discouraged. The module documentation details page may explain more about this rationale… This feature will be removed in a future release. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation\_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

Hi,

please read the error message. You are providing an option to this  
module ("password") which it does not support.

Cheers,
