How do I reset player passwords?

If your player forgets their password for Project Zomboid, you’ll have to reset it. There are a couple of different ways you can do this.

Resetting the Password In-Game

  1. Connect to your server and login to an account with admin rights
  2. Enter the command removeuserfromwhitelist username and replace username with the players name
  3. The next time that player joins they can set a new password

Note that when using this method the playersadmin roles will be removed but can be re-added when they join back

Editing the Server Database File

  1. Open the AleForge Panel
  2. Stop your server
  3. Go to Files
  4. Navigate to .cache/db
  5. Download your servers .db file to your computer. By default this is called dedicated.db
  6. Download SQLite Browser and open dedicated.db with it
  7. Select Browse Data and then select whitelist in the dropdown

  1. Find the user in the database file. Once found, double click on the password section and delete it

  1. Note that the password found here is the encrypted version of that users password
  2. Save the file and reupload it to your server. Be sure to overwrite the old dedicated.db file
  3. Start your server

The player who you edited will now be able to set a new password on login
