By adding a password requirement, you can ensure that only your friends or clan members can join your game sessions, preventing random players from occupying slots. The GGServers panel makes it easy to secure your Dune 2000 server with just a few steps. Follow this guide to update your password settings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>To change core security settings like the server password, you must first shut down the server process. Log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>, select your Dune 2000 service, and click the red <strong>Stop<\/strong> button. Wait for the status to show as &#8220;Offline&#8221; before moving to the next step.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"Stop The Server\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Always stop your server before updating the password.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Access Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Once the server is offline, look at the sidebar on the left side of your panel.
