Change the admin password on a BATTALION: Legacy server

Admin Password is a separate Startup field from the visible Server Name. Replace any initial or previously shared value before using remote administration for a public community.

Make the change

  1. Schedule a restart outside a match and stop the server normally.
  2. Open Startup and enter a long, unique value in Admin Password.
  3. Save and restart, leaving the existing game and query allocations unchanged.
  4. Test the new administrator credential using your game administration tool.
  5. Remove the old value from shared configuration notes and any staff tools that store it.
