Instructions

1. Go to your Teamspeak 3 server folder.
2. Create a shortcut of this file
3. Choose the one that fits your situation
4. Identify your server's executable
   
   • Windows 32bit
     

     • ts3server_win32.exe

   • Windows 64bit
     

     • ts3server_win64.exe

5. Right click on the shortcut
6. Click (at bottom) properties
7. In the target box should be something similar to one of these two depending where you put your server folder
   
   • Windows 32bit
     

     • C:\Program Files\teamspeak3-server_win32\ts3server_win32.exe

   • Windows 64bit
     

     • C:\Program Files\teamspeak3-server_win64\ts3server_win64.exe

8. Put this after the .exe Remember to include a space after .exe!
   

   • serveradmin_password=passwordhere

9. It should look something like this.
   
   • Windows 32bit
     

     • C:\Program Files\teamspeak3-server_win32\ts3server_win32.exe serveradmin_password=passwordhere

   • Windows 64bit
     

     • C:\Program Files\teamspeak3-server_win64\ts3server_win64.exe serveradmin_password=passwordhere

10. Notice there is a space between .exe and serveradmin
11. Change the green highlighted text to what ever password you want
12. Now shutdown your TS3 server, and launch it through this shortcut.
13. You have changed your serveradmin password!

Instructions

1. Open up terminal/bash.
2. cd to your TS3 server folder
3. Stop your server (Choose the one that fits your situation)
   

   ./ts3server_startscript.sh stop

4. Open ts3server_startscript.sh with your favorite text editor and replace the this code....
   

   COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS=""

   with this code
   This step is not necessary if you already have COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS="$2". They must have updated their startup script
   

   COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS=$2

5. Save your changes.
6. Go back to your command line and put this in
   

   ./ts3server_startscript.sh start serveradmin_password=passwordhere

7. Change the green highlighted text to the password you want
8. You have changed your serveradmin password!

Note: This should not mess up your normal launch, you should be able to use ./ts3server_startscript.sh like you could before.

Yes youre vids are helpful even for a total noob like me :d

Got this very "problem", will respond if it's enough to solve it.
Was about to wipe database anyway Can't do more harm trying your guide.

I just had a quick look at the `clients` table in the teamspeak database. It took me only a few minutes to figure it out: The `client_login_password` field is a base64 encoded sha1-hash of the password. Reverse engineering the password will be quite difficult, unless you rely on quite a huge rainbow table, but you can easily set a new password for the existing account.

This is a piece of php-code that will get the job done:

function encrypt_ts3_client_password($password) {
	return(base64_encode(sha1($password, true)));
}

Just replace the `client_login_password` field of the serveradmin with this function's return value and the new password will be set.

I also set up a really simple example php-script (source code).

Nice catch I've had no doubt it is base64 encoded string, I was just wondering, from what function it is.
I think, it will be easier to make a console script from this code.

#! /bin/php
<?php
print(base64_encode(sha1($argv[1], true)));

For Linux/Mac, you can just make it executable, for Windows, obtain PHP and run
php.exe -f ts3passwd.php <desiredPassword>

F.e.,

[C:\]$ts3passwd.php 123456
fEqNCco3Yq9h5ZUglD3CZJT4lBs=

[C:\]$

--- Merged ---

Alternatively, to reset your serveradmin password to simple 123456, you could just run this query:

UPDATE clients SET client_login_password = "fEqNCco3Yq9h5ZUglD3CZJT4lBs=" WHERE client_unique_id = "serveradmin"

Don't forget to reset password once you login to server query terminal with new credentials!!

telnet localhost 10011
TS3
login serveradmin 123456
error id=0 msg=ok
clientsetserverquerylogin client_login_name=serveradmin
client_login_password=<Here'sYourNewPassword>
error id=0 msg=ok
quit

I was wondering what the password was encoded with. I'll write up a documentation on how to change admin password, when I get home from the gym.

Hey Actium, can you increase the width of your text box? So the entire encrypted password shows. Or if not I'll just edit it around a little and post on my web server and give you credit.

[ANR Daemon]

I think, my method more generic, as it includes less steps. You don't have to figure out, what "passwordhere" is and how to obtain it from these scripts.

[par0noid]

love ya for figuring out the encryption

[ANR Daemon]

Wasn't me - I was lazy to do it myself.

Meh, not that hard to understand. And the steps are basically the same since you then have to go into teamspeak and change the password again. This way is only one password change. Thanks tho

[R. Ludwig]

you could also start the server with command line serveradmin_password=yournewpassword

[Birdie]

Please put this information also in the command line parameter section in doc/server_quickstart.txt.

[Actium]

To anyone who thanked me, for figuring this out: You're welcome.

Well, R. Ludwig's (unfortunately non-documented) method of resetting the serveradmin password makes my app sorta superfluous, but as Soljia asked me to adjust it, I decided to officially release it under the BSD license, so anyone who thinks there's a need for it, can take it and use it however he pleases.

Booo, ruined all the fun :P

I haven't tried out the command line thing that Ludwig mentioned. Anyone else?

Nevermind I just did. Guess my method is obsolete. I'll change the guide.

is this just for the virtual server in question and not the main server admin ?

i keep getting customers deleting admins and accounts then asking me to make them admin again, i dont want to give them rights to any server just the virtual server that they own.
