  2. Navigate to your TeamSpeak 3 folder and open the file ‘ts3server_startscript.sh’ with a texteditor

  • COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS=""

    with this:

  • COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS=$2
   4. Save the file
  1. Change back to your command line interface and start the server with the following parameter:

(replace ‘YourNewPassword’ with your own password)

  • ./ts3server_startscript.sh start serveradmin_password=YourNewPassword

Your ServerQuery Admin password has been changed.

*You don’t have to append this parameter every time, a one-time server start with the parameter set will permanently change it

Hello, I have a problem when installing my TeamSpeak server, that the ServerQuery password does not appear in the “service teamspeak status” or in “cat /home/teamspeak/logs/ts3server_*”

[Linux Ubuntu 16.04]

Reset a forgotten serveradmin password

To reset the query admin password a server restart is required. Please stop your TeamSpeak 3 server and then launch it with the additional parameter:

./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh inifile=ts3server.ini serveradmin_password=test1234

You should skip the inifile parameter if you’re not using an ini file when starting the server.

Hi there
i know a lot of articles there on how to reset or recover but im using docker and can’t use the unix commands available in the tutorials. anyway on how to reset my serveradmin password trough docker?

When starting the server add serveradmin_password=password1234 as environment variable and password password1234 should be set for serveradmin login.
