- Install the Space Engineers Dedicated Server tool from Steam.
- Run it as an administrator.
- Select Local / Console and click Continue to server configuration.
- Enter the required password under Password and save the configuration.
- Click Edit next to Save to open the generated configuration file.

<ServerPasswordHash>z5dXWHuN6eheu9x+Hf8yEyUG71U=</ServerPasswordHash>
<ServerPasswordSalt>/NEiQKDQVNvBEnp27Izvjw==</ServerPasswordSalt>
The displayed values are only an example. Copy the values generated for your own password.
- Open your hosted server in the management panel.
- Open Configuration Files.
- Click Text Editor for SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and locate the password-hash and salt lines.
- Replace both values with the generated values.
- Save the file.
- Start the server.
