How to add a password to Palworld’s dedicated server

Before fixing the admin password, it’s important that you know you have added the password to your dedicated server.

1. First things first, you need to stop the server before making any changes to it to avoid any issues or data loss. For that you can simply click on the Pause icon or button on the Palworld Server Control Panel.
2. After you stop the server, you are ready to make changes. We are going to set a server password.
3. On your server, you go to the config files, for which, within the control panel, you locate and select Startup.
4. From there, choose Configuration Files from the menu.
5. Next, you will see the Configuration Files section. Head over to the PalworldSettings.ini file.
6. Then find the server password settings, replace the password with the one you want to set, and save the changes.

After you make the changes to your password, restart the server to apply the changes. Now, whenever anyone connects to the server, it will enforce the new password upon the player’s connection. To use the password, here is how you can access it after setting up the password.

1. Launch Palworld, then choose the Join Multiplayer Game.
2. Next, when you try to connect to the server, it will ask for a password. Enter the password, then click OK to continue with joining the server.

However, you can also use the direct connection option by choosing Direct Connect, then entering the password to access the Palworld Server. It is recommended to always remember the saved settings and restart your server when making changes.
