Lost root@pam password for the GUI. How to reset?

[dthacker9]

I have access to the pbs server as root via ssh.

I'm using
# proxmox-backup-manager user update root@pam --PUT /access/password
# proxmox-backup-manager user update root@pam --'PUT /access/password'

I am not getting prompt for the new password. Please help me with the correct syntax.

You are overcomplicating things ;-)

The basic passwd will allow you to specify a new password for root@pam.
