Need help with RCON password, trying to host my own server.

[Lind]

Hosting a CSGO server but cant become the Operator and change the server settings since i just cant grasp this rcon password thing. Online i look everywhere and people are acting like everyone has one and everyone should know what it is. I have spent a long time trying to make a server now and this stops me. I have tryed alot of things but i just dont get it. Where can i find this rcon password and how do i use it? PLEASE HELP!

[RevUpNL]

isn;t it something like rcon_password and then the password in console?

[Catmality]

if your hosting your own server for a couple friends, just use the ingame server thingy
if your hosting your own server for like, bhop or w/e, i think you need dedicated servers and stuff

Yea but the problem is i dont have a rcon password, or i just dont know where to find it. How can i type my rcon password if i dont have one? XD

[Lind]

Yea i have made a dedicated server for scrimming with my team vs other teams. But where do i find the servers rcon_password?
Can anyone tell me? I have all the server files and own the whole server. I dont get why i sould'nt be able to use it.

Find the server.cfg file or something similar. It's probably being set in there.

I have looked for that server.cfg after seeing people talk about it online but i cant seem to find one or have one
