@merchantguru  
I discovered several hours ago that Ansible 2.2.1.0 was handling the sudo password differently than earlier versions. A fix was pushed in [roots/trellis#758](https://github.com/roots/trellis/pull/758).

Assuming you are running 2.2.1.0 and were affected by the issue in [roots/trellis#758](https://github.com/roots/trellis/pull/758), I believe your procedure effectively changed the password on your server to  
`{% raw %}my_password{% endraw %}`

I recommend these steps to get your password back to normal and working:

1. Apply the fix from [roots/trellis#758](https://github.com/roots/trellis/pull/758)

2. Run the `users` role to change your password back to normal on the server  
`ansible-playbook server.yml -e env=production --tags users -K`  
When prompted, enter your password as `{% raw %}my_password{% endraw %}`  
which just allows admin to invoke sudo this time, and change your password back to the version that omits `{% raw %}`.

Going forward, you shouldn’t need `--ask-become-pass`. Things should be back to normal.

Most users will only need step #1. Step #2 is necessary only for users who took steps similar to what @merchantguru described, and now need to change the password back to normal on the server.
