Ansible Become password
<p>I have a small and simple playbook to make a directory on two other servers which I have saved in a inventory file and passing the name 'dev-edge'. </p>

<p>When I try and run this, I get a:</p>

<pre><code>a2s3421.fake.cor.com : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0
a1s3433.fake.cor.com : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0
</code></pre>

<p>I can <code>'ssh niall@g4t7459.houston.hpecorp.net'</code> so the servers can be reached from the ansible server. </p>

<p>I think this is because I am not passing my password, I have tried to use 'become_pass: XXXXX' but still doesn't work. </p>

<p>Can someone tell me how to add/request a password in a playbook?
Or is there another reason why I would be getting a unreachable error when running the playbook??</p>

<p>Thanks for the help
Frostie. </p>
