PixARK

Change PixARK’s player password and keep admin access separate

Server Password is for players; Admin Password is for privileged commands and the server’s RCON workflow. Change the intended field instead of sharing the administrator value with everyone joining.

Make the change

  1. Stop the server and back up ShooterGame/Saved plus its current configuration.
  2. Set Server Password in Startup to the value intended for players.
  3. Set a separate Admin Password for trusted staff if the existing one is blank or shared.
  4. Leave Server Name, save-directory settings and allocations unchanged during this password change.
  5. Start and test player entry, then verify administration separately.
Startup variables for PixARK. Use the field labels in the steps; keep private credentials hidden when sharing screenshots.
Controls used in this task
Panel fieldWhat to keep in mind
Server PasswordThe password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. Allowed range: 1–100.
Admin PasswordThe password for remote administration. Keep it separate from the player join password. Allowed range: 1–100.
Server NameThe name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 30 characters.

Check the result

If the game continues accepting the old password, confirm you joined the correct instance and that the server restarted. Keep the old backup until existing progress is verified.
