You need to visit a Service Center of the Bundespolizei (e.g. in Frankfurt Terminal 1, Stairway to the old skyline, Mezzanine; opposite of Commerzbank)

EDIT: Unless you're from South Korea or Taiwan, you seem to have to re-register for EasyPASS-RTP anyway because of the introduction of EES: https://www.easypass.de/EasyPass/EN/.../rtp_node.html

My understanding is that you can skip EES because all the details have already gotten captured when you got your resident card.
EasyPass should work once you got your passport updated.

EDIT: I assumed you might be holding an eligible passport (United States of America, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea or Taiwan, from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) as you seem to have used EasyPASS-RTP before.
