Change your server's name and password
A quick tour of the Settings tab, for renaming your server, changing the Administrator password and using the emergency console.
The Settings tab holds the few things you might want to change about your server itself.
Server name
The name of your server, as shown in the panel. Changing it doesn't change its IP address or touch any files.
- Open Settings and choose Server name.
- Type the new name and click Save name.
Administrator password
Sets a new password for the Administrator account. Use it the next time you connect with Remote Desktop.
- Open Settings and choose Administrator password.
- Enter the new password and save.
ℹ️
Note: Developer logins keep their own passwords. Change those on the Developer access tab.
Screen console (VNC)
Only use this if Remote Desktop isn't working. The screen console is slow and has no copy and paste or file transfer. It's for emergencies, like Windows not starting or Remote Desktop being switched off. For everyday use, connect with Remote Desktop (see Connect to your server with Remote Desktop in two clicks).
Good to know
- Some advanced options aren't shown, because changing them is a common way to stop Windows starting. If you need one changed, open a support ticket.
