I performed the installation of Proxmox VE 7.2 on Debian 11 logged in as root but after the installation finished the root password was changed and now I can't access
 
As far as I know PVE shouldn't change any passwords. Are you sure you are not trying to login with the wrong realm (PVE ream instead of PAM)? Or capslock? Or other keyboard language?

I'm on the correct server the problem is that now I can't even log in as root through SSH
