I'm hosting on a linux machine so I tried to grep for sv_password within my srcds folder:

myserver:~/csgoserver$ sudo grep -Roni sv_password *
Binary file bin/engine.so matches
Binary file bin/engine.dll matches
Binary file bin/engine_xlsp.so matches
Binary file bin/engine.dylib matches
Binary file csgo/bin/client.dylib matches
Binary file csgo/bin/client.dll matches
csgo/cfg/settings_default.scr:58:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_valve.res:69:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_valve.res:72:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_valve.res:84:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_valve.res:87:sv_password
platform/admin/mainserverconfig.vdf:28:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_dod.res:105:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_dod.res:108:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_dod.res:121:sv_password
platform/admin/serverconfigpanel_dod.res:124:sv_password
platform/admin/helpfile.vdf:184:sv_password
platform/admin/helpfile.vdf:186:sv_password

So I only see sv_password in one text files which raise suspicion csgo/cfg/settings_default.src in line 58:

        "sv_password"
        {
                "#Valve_Server_Password"
                { STRING }
                { "" }
        }

If I change this to have my password instead of just "" it makes no difference. If you have other files, which could house sv_password, which my grep did not find please say so :)

Best regards
Jonas

This is most likely the issue. I had the exact same problem when I started setting up my servers.

    This happened to me once and I discovered that in one of the ten
    billion config files csgo has, there was a default value of
    sv_password "" that was messing it up. have you double checked all
    your configs to make sure there isn't a random one in there?

        Hi all and thanks for an very good and helpful mailing list.

        I'm trying to set a password for my server (at time of launch)
        but I simply cannot get it working. I've tried

            sv_password "secretpassword"

        in my csgo/cfg/server.cfg and in csgo/cfg/autoexec.cfg (only
        in one of them at a time and in both of them simultaneously)
        but to no avail. If I connect to my server from the console
        using "connect ip:port" I'm not asked for a password, I get
        not error, I am just connected to my server as if it wasn't
        password protected at all.

        Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

        I've found people complaining about sv_password not working
        when there are already players on the server, but that's not
        my problem. I just want to set it at server launch.

        Best regards
