Can't login as admin on dedicated server

[Sir Cthulhu]

I setup the Admin Password in DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini and PalWorldSettings.ini however it says "This server does not have an AdminPassword set, so you cannot become an admin" when I try to put in the password

You will get more answers on their Discord then you will here. Sounds like you did not set admin up correctly somehow or missed a step. Are you working off a reliable guide? Are you sure you got your 16 digit UID correct?
Just guesses since I have not messed with this game in some time. Discord is your best bet though.

sounds like you didn't modify the PalWorldSettings.ini in .../Palserver/Pal/Saved/Config/[Windows or Linux]Server/

here's a reliable guide:

edit:
another thing to keep in mind:
PalWorldSettings.ini gets overwritten when the server is closed and applys changes only on start-up.

I just noticed palworldsettings.ini is empty agani should I set it to read only?

[Jaquento]

what's the file path to the PalWorldSettings.ini ? and the server was off when you saved the changes to it?

It's ../Pal/Saved/Configs/Linux server

Good, then it's the right one. and as it's empty again, I guess you edited it while the server was running and it was overwritten with the one it started with (an empty file). so fill it again while the server isn't running and start it after you saved the changes.

Doing that then giving the file read-only permissions seemed to have done the trick :)
