Find or change the admin password
The admin password is in the client area under Startup variables → Admin password. You can change it there – then restart the server.
Become admin in the game
- Join your server.
- Open the chat (Enter).
- Enter:
/AdminPassword YourAdminPassword
You are admin until you reconnect. After each reconnect, enter the password again.
Key commands
In the game, type commands with / in the chat. In the Console tab of the client area, use them without / – you are admin there automatically.

Good to know
- Without an admin password the commands do not work – so don't leave the field empty in the startup variables.
- More settings like experience, capture rate or day/night length: Palworld server settings.
