Hallo Team,
Referring the below closed topic
VCenter appliance root password expiration set module name & playbook issue
I found that there is no module. Check my output here
cd /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible_collections/community/vmware/plugins/modules
ls -l vcenter_*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6433 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_domain_user_group_info.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3397 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_extension_info.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 7219 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_extension.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16819 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_folder.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9710 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_license.py
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32248 Nov 8 2023 vcenter_standard_key_provider.py
There is no file with name vcenter_root_password_expiration
Looks like this file was left out somewhere.

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.vmware.vcenter_root_password_expiration'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to be in '/root/vc_passwd/playbook.yaml': line 10, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: Change the vCenter password expiry
