# How to change or disable your RCON password

Learn how to change or disable the RCON password for your Garry's Mod server hosted with Nodecraft!

RCON is great for remote server management. It allows remote connections to your server with unlimited access, protected by a password.

To change your RCON password, simply set `rcon_password "my_super_secure_password"` in your `server.cfg` file. If you wish to disable RCON, set the password to a blank string, like `rcon_password ""`.

> Be sure that your RCON password is very secure. Any weak passwords will allow attackers access to control your server.
