How to Change the RCON Password on Your Pavlov VR Server<\/h2>\n

Securing your Pavlov VR server is essential for maintaining control over your community and gameplay. The RCON (Remote Console) password allows you to execute administrative commands remotely, such as kicking players, changing maps, or adjusting server variables. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to change the default password to something unique. Follow this guide to update your RCON password using the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Log In to the GGServers Panel<\/h3>\n

First, navigate to the GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Log in with your account credentials and select your Pavlov VR server instance from the dashboard.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n

Before modifying administrative credentials, you must Stop<\/strong> your server. This ensures that the new RCON password is correctly written to the configuration files and initialized during the next bootup.<\/p>\n
