Reset / Change StarRupture Passwords (Management + Join)

StarRupture stores passwords in JSON files in the server directory. This makes password resets quick on LOW.MS. If you are shopping around, we offer StarRupture dedicated server hosting.

There are two passwords:

• Server Management password (for Manage Server)
• Player/Join password (for players joining the server)

Files you’ll be deleting

• Password.json → resets the Manage Server (management) password
• PlayerPassword.json → resets the Join (player) password

Deleting these files does not delete your save/world. It only resets the passwords.

Reset steps (LOW.MS)

1. Stop the server in the LOW.MS Control Panel
2. Open File Manager (or FTP)
3. In the server directory, delete:
   • Password.json to reset the management password, and/or
   • PlayerPassword.json to reset the join password
4. Start the server
5. Open StarRupture and go to Manage Server
6. Enter your server IP/port and set the passwords again when prompted

If players still can’t join (after reset)

• Confirm the server is actually running a save:
  • Manage Server → Load/New → Start Game
• Make sure players are using Join Game → Dedicated Server
• If you’re using DSSettings.txt, confirm it loads the correct save
