StarRupture stores passwords in JSON files in the server directory. This makes password resets quick on LOW.MS.
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) passwordPlayerPassword.json→ resets the Join (player) password
Deleting these files does not delete your save/world. It only resets the passwords.
Reset steps (LOW.MS)
- Stop the server in the LOW.MS Control Panel
- Open File Manager (or FTP)
- In the server directory, delete:
Password.jsonto reset the management password, and/orPlayerPassword.jsonto reset the join password
- Start the server
- Open StarRupture and go to Manage Server
- 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
