# How to Add a Password to your VEIN Server

How to add a password to your VEIN server.

**VEIN** servers can be set as **public** or **private** by adding a password. A password restricts access to trusted players only, preventing unwanted users from joining and disrupting gameplay. This is the simplest and most effective way to secure your server.

For servers that remain public, consider assigning a **Server Admin** to help moderate and maintain order.

## How to Add a Password via Game Settings

1. Locate your **Nodecraft** dashboard and open your **VEIN** server panel.
2. Click **Stop** to safely shut down your server.

**Note: Always stop your server before making configuration changes. This ensures all settings are properly saved and applied.**

3. Navigate to the **Game Settings** tab.  
4. Locate the **Server Password** field.  
5. Enter your desired password.  
6. Click **Save Changes**.  
7. Restart your server by clicking **Start**.

Once your server is running again, players will be required to enter the password before joining.

## How to add a password in the Server Files (Manually)

1. Locate your **Nodecraft** dashboard and open your **VEIN** server panel.
2. Click **Stop** to safely shut down your server.

**Note: Always stop your server before editing configuration files. This ensures your changes are properly saved and applied.**

3. Navigate to the **Server Files** tab.  
4. Open the following directory: `/home/container/Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer`

5. Locate and open the `Game.ini` file.  
6. Find the line labeled **Password**.  
7. Change to desired Password.  
8. Click **Save**.  
9. **Start** your Server.

## Troubleshooting Tips

If players are unable to join after setting a password:

- **Password Not Working**

  Ensure the password was saved correctly in the Nodecraft panel.

  Restart the server after any password change.
- **Forgotten Password**

  Reopen your server settings and update the password to a new one.
- **Server Still Public**

  Double-check that the password field isn’t empty.

  Confirm the server restarted properly after applying changes.

## Conclusion

Adding a password is an easy and reliable way to secure your VEIN server. Whether you want a private session with friends or a controlled public server, setting a password ensures your community remains safe and enjoyable.
