# How to change or disable your RCON password

Learn how to change or disable the RCON password for your Left 4 Dead 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.
