How to Set a Server Admin Password on Your Ark Server

Creating a Server Admin Password for your ARK Server grants you administrative privileges, enabling you to use cheat commands. Initially, no password is configured by default.

Setting an Admin Password

1. Go to your ARK Server Panel and make sure the server is off.
2. Navigate to Startup.

3. Look for the Admin Password variable and put a secure password.

4. Go back to Console and Start the server.
