I need help to reset or change root password for 3 virtual instances.
How can I do this?
Instances working, but must be reconfigured and this is impossible without forgotten password....
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to StarWind forum.
We generally don't provide root password for CVM. Also, root login is disabled.
You don't need the root password for reconfiguration; you are welcome to use the credentials you have set during installation. If you forgot the password, you are welcome to use the general ways to reset user's password in Ubuntu.
