How can I set the password of the root user from the salt master to the minion?

I need to set the password of the root user of ubuntu so that all the minions have the same password and the users can not modify it, how can I do that from the salt master?

Use this command to set the password:

salt 'minion_id' shadow.set_password root 'PASSWORD_HASH'

If you don't have a password yet, you can use this command to create one:

salt 'minion_id' shadow.gen_password 'PLAIN_PASSWORD'
