What happened?

I'm using x cv4pve-api-php to communicate with the api

I'm trying to reset the password of a vm using the proxmox API.

[CODE=php]$data = $pve->getNodes()->get($node)->getQemu()->get($vmid)->getAgent()->getSetUserPassword()->setUserPassword('Administrator', 'QAZ2wsx2')->getResponse();

return $data;[/CODE]

When I do this command I get the API response like:

[CODE=json]{"data": null}[/CODE]

I went to vm but the password is not changed. So I tried the following commands to check if communication to the VM was working and yes it was.

[CODE=php]$data1 = $pve->getNodes()->get($node)->getQemu()->get($vmid)->getAgent()->getGetUsers()->getUsers()->getResponse();

$data2 = $pve->getNodes()->get($node)->getQemu()->get($vmid)->getAgent()->getNetworkGetInterfaces()->networkGetInterfaces()->getResponse();

return $data1;

return $data2;

[/CODE]

[CODE=json]{"data":{"result":[{"user":"Administrator","login-time":1703928164.75337,"domain":"WIN-42DB1GRE758"}]}}

{"data":{"result":[{"name":"Ethernet","statistics":{"rx-bytes":37858,"tx-dropped":0,"tx-errs":0,"rx-packets":16,"rx-errs":0,"rx-dropped":0,"tx-bytes":7751,"tx-packets":13},"hardware-address":"bc:24:11:7b:69:b1","ip-addresses":[{"prefix":64,"ip-address-type":"ipv6","ip-address":"fe80::8629:4e3c:bc25:63e3%14"},{"prefix":24,"ip-address-type":"ipv4","ip-address":"163.172.112.35"},{"ip-address":"169.254.165.33","ip-address-type":"ipv4","prefix":16}]},{"name":"Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1","ip-addresses":[{"ip-address-type":"ipv6","prefix":128,"ip-address":"::1"},{"ip-address":"127.0.0.1","ip-address-type":"ipv4","prefix":8}],"statistics":{"rx-bytes":0,"tx-errs":0,"tx-dropped":0,"rx-packets":0,"rx-errs":0,"rx-dropped":0,"tx-bytes":0,"tx-packets":0}}]}}

[/CODE]

Then I changed the password through the proxmox shell with the following command and the password is changed:

[CODE=bash]qm guest passwd 104 root -password QAZ2wsx[/CODE]

I tried to change the username to root and with that user the error message appears.

[CODE=php]$data = $pve->getNodes()->get($node)->getQemu()->get($vmid)->getAgent()->getSetUserPassword()->setUserPassword('root', 'QAZ2wsx2')->getResponse();

return $data;[/CODE]

[CODE=json]{"errors":{"password":"value must be at least 5 characters long"},"data":null}[/CODE]

I can't understand why this happened since the root user does not exist in the vm's OS.

If anyone can help I would be grateful. Thanks
