How do I remove the server password?

[Spectral_Bear 0]

I wanted to do some thing's in our ark server without interruption, so I added the line below, to the custom launch parameter line.

 

?ServerPassword=xxxxxxxx

 

It worked fine, I could gain access to the server and no one else could.

 

Finished what I was doing, stopped the server, removed that line from the custom launch parameter line and restarted.

 

The ServerPassword line is no longer in the custom launch parameter line, BUT IS showing up in the GameUserSettings.ini file.

 

How do I remove this? The GameUserSettings.ini can't be edited, or am I missing something?

 

Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure about whether that setting can be modified in the control panel, but if it can't, the GameUserSettings.ini file can be edited using an FTP client like Filezilla. (Best to do this while the server is Stopped so there's no chance it'll overwrite any changes you are making while you make them.) The FTP approach is a 'power user' approach since you can do anything, but if you're not familiar with FTP and don't want to take the time to learn, hang on and hopefully someone will give you a simpler way.
