Set and edit an RCON password for Left 4 Dead 2 server

You set the RCON password in the startup settings of your server in the Fragnet dashboard.

Change or set the RCON password​

  1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your server.

  2. Open the Configuration tab and select the Startup group. See Startup.

  3. Find the RCON password setting and enter the password you would like to have.

  4. Select Save in the bar at the bottom of the page.

  5. Restart the server. The new password applies the next time the server starts. See Power controls.

To remove the RCON password, leave the RCON password setting empty and save.

info

server.cfg (in left4dead2/cfg on the Files tab) can also contain an rcon_password line. If that line still has a different password after the restart, it's the one the game uses: change it there too, or remove the line.
