How to set/change RCON password?

Most Source code games use the RCON protocol, which allows server administrators to remotely execute commands on the server.

To set an RCON password on a Counter Strike: Global Offensive server, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to your game panel.
  2. In the server list click on your server.
  3. In the header/menu click on “File”.
  4. Go to the /csgo/cfg directory.
  5. Open or create a “server.cfg” file. This file will be automatically run by the server every time the game starts.
  6. Add a line like the following (or edit if it already exists) making the necessary substitutions. It is important to use a secure password here, as anyone with this password will be able to execute commands on your game server.
    rcon_password “my_sup3r_s3cr3t_password”
  7. If you want to completely disable RCON, set the value of rcon_password to an empty string, like this: RCON password “”
