How to Reset a Player's Profile Password on Your Project Zomboid Server Print

If a player forgets their password or you need to clear it for any reason, you can reset it in two ways: using in-game admin commands or directly editing the server database.

Method 1: Remove the Player from the Whitelist (Recommended)

1. Access the Web Console

   • Log into your Imperium Hosting game control panel.

   • Use the Web Console while the server is running.

2. Enter the Admin Command
   Type the following into the console and press Enter:

    

   removeuserfromwhitelist <username>

   Replace <username> with the player’s actual in-game name.

3. Player Rejoins and Sets New Password
   The next time the player connects, they’ll be prompted to create a new password.

Method 2: Edit the Server Database (Advanced)

1. Stop the Server
   Always stop the server before modifying database files.

2. Download the Database

   • Open the File Manager in your control panel.

   • Navigate to:

      

     Zomboid/db/servertest.db

   • Right-click the file and select Download.

3. Edit the File Using SQLite Browser

   • Download and install DB Browser for SQLite.

   • Open servertest.db in the browser.

   • Go to the Browse Data tab and select the Whitelist table.

   • Find the player’s entry and delete the password field (or delete the row to fully remove them).

4. Reupload the Edited File

   • Save your changes and upload the updated servertest.db back to:

      

     Zomboid/db/

5. Restart the Server
   The player can now reconnect and choose a new password.
