I'm completely new to proxmox helper scripts- I had the exact same error and this fixed it for me. I didn't realize that I was supposed to run sudo passwd root in the cockpit lxc console, not in the higher level proxmox console 😅

I tried both using the script with Advanced and setting a root password and also the default with root password set after creation. None did work. I also tried privileged and unprivileged LXC.

Maybe a DNS problem? Tested both default and advanced here also, no problem
