# How to Reset Your Starrupture Server Passwords (/docs/starrupture/password-reset)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Starrupture stores passwords as JSON files in the server root. Deleting these files resets the passwords without affecting world saves.

Reset the Join Password [#reset-the-join-password]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Stop the server [#stop-the-server]

    In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), go to **Console** and stop the server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Delete PlayerPassword.json [#delete-playerpasswordjson]

    Click **Files** in the sidebar. Find `PlayerPassword.json` in the server root and delete it.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Start the server [#start-the-server]

    Start from **Console**. The join password is now cleared. Set a new one via the Manage Server menu.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Reset the Management Password [#reset-the-management-password]

Same process — delete the management password JSON file from the server root.

> Deleting password files does NOT delete world saves or server settings.
