RCON Help?!

[KiLo]

I know there have been many threads about how to use the RCON but none of them have really been that clear.  And now I actually need to use the RCON.

My problem: There is a password on the server and I don't know it. But I know the RCON password. So my question is how would I go about logging in with the RCON to change the password on the server?

[ViciouZ]

Get rcon unlimited or another rcon client, or use the inbuilt game one, connect to the server with IP and Rcon password and type password blarblarblar.

At the rcon console, type 'password'

>password
"password" is "KiLo-is-a-newb"

To change it type 'set password whatever'

>set password whatever
"password" is "whatever"

You can't remove a password through rcon unless you have a config like such:

set password ""

>exec unsetpassword.cfg
execing unsetpassword.cfg
>password
"password" is ""

I always used ASE or XQF(linux) RCON clients because they save my passwords for me.  I think PureBlood uses RCON Commander or something like that, they're all pretty much the same.  You can even use PB2 itself.

>rcon_address 192.168.1.100
>rcon_password 20inchwhat?
>rcon set password dongs
Print from 192.168.1.100:27910:
"password" is "dongs"

That worked pefectly although I don't know about your choice of password. Thanks for the help though guys.

I believe I added an "unset" command, so you cound do "rcon unset password".  Also, it's good to set the passwordtimeout cvar so if the server sits around empty for the number of minutes specified, the password will automatically unset itself.

I use Rcon Unlimited. Very helpful.
