How to Set an ARK Server Password
Protect your server from unwanted players by setting a password.
RocketNode Staff
Implementing a server password on your ARK Server mandates that users must input the password to access the server. Initially, the server is open for anyone to join without requiring a password.
Setting a Password
- Go to your ARK Server Panel and make sure the server is off.
- Navigate to Startup.

- Look for the Server Password variable and put a secure password.

- Go back to Console and Start the server.
