You could try the command below.

Set-AzureADUserPassword -ObjectId <ObjectId> -Password <Password>

Refer to the link .

Update :

It may caused by your SecureString format, the password must meet the tenant's password complexity requirements. Refer to Password policy in Azure AD . You could refer to my specific command, it works fine.

$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "P@ssW0rD!" -Force –AsPlainText
Set-AzureADUserPassword -ObjectId "ce336193xxxxxxxx" -Password $Password

Try to login to azure portal use the new password, it works fine.

Besides, I suppose the error of your command that you post may caused by it too, you could check it.
