To be admin on your Conan Exiles server, read the Admin password under Passwords in the Config Editor. Then, in the game and not in the panel, open Settings, then Server Settings, press Make Me Admin, and type the password.
Find the Admin password
A new server has an Admin password that the panel made at random. It is never empty.
- Open the Config Editor on the server’s page.
- Choose the Passwords source.
- Find the row Admin password (1) and read its value. The eye button at the end of the box shows it.
- Admin password
The row’s own help text says: “For you only: in the game open Settings, then Server Settings, press Make Me Admin and type it.”
Use it in the game
- Join your server. See how to join a Conan Exiles server.
- In the game, open Settings, then Server Settings.
- Press Make Me Admin.
- Type the Admin password.

Change the Admin password
Change it in the same row under Passwords. It is 6 to 64 characters long: letters, digits, - and _. It cannot be empty. After you edit it, a bar reads “Unsaved changes: (n)”: choose Save. A new password applies at the next start. Restart the server, then use the new one. A restart drops everyone who is on, so warn players first (Restart with a warning on the Players page, while the game answers the panel). See Conan Exiles server passwords.
If it does not work
- The game says the password is wrong. You may have changed it and not restarted. Use the eye button on the Admin password row to read the current value. Restart the server and try again. Check you copied the value from the Admin password row and not the Join password or Remote console password row.
- You cannot find Make Me Admin. Join the server first. The button is in the game’s own settings, not in the panel.
- You want players to use the Admin password. Do not. Give each person the join password and make only the people you trust admin.
