Hi

Please try to use root user user following:
ansible -m ping web-servers -u root
ansible -m ping web-servers -s

You need to have a user account that is used on all systems, root can be used and the password is the same.

Then, you need to transfer an ssh key with that account to all systems using ssh-copy-id.

It should work after that
