You will need to pair your roomba with the phone application and setup an account/password with irobot.
Then you

 ./password.py <login> <password>

from https://github.com/NickWaterton/Roomba980-Python That being the email and password you just created.

Then you grab only the letters from the password line..

Obfuscated example:

       "password": ":1:234567890:aBcDeFgHiKl",

Your password would be aBcDeFgHiKl

I may be misremembering and it includes 23456890 I was throwing spaghetti at the wall and don't remember what I literally just did. I do know that it didn't work till after I did the reset the wifi with the buttons per the prompting but only after having entered the password. It could have been my phone timed out though.. Might turn it off when trying to set it up or fully uninstall the app to be sure it's not hanging on in the background it will break it if it's running.

Not everything like the documentation https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/roomba/#manually-retrieving-your-credentials shows.

Note if is already registered you will have to reset the firmware by pressing all 3 buttons for about 10 seconds, then pair the app by pressing the 2 buttons listed (home and spot clean), Might need to repeat that a few times till the app sees it and prompts you again to reset the firmware and it will communicate properly for the password script to function as 980+ models need an updated firmware to communicate as the SSH was expired.
