The Monkey shuts off either when it can't find new victims, or when it has exceeded the quota of victims as defined in the configuration.
## How to reset the password?
On your first access of Monkey Island server, you'll be prompted to create an account. If you forgot the credentials you
entered or just want to change them, you need to manually alter the `server_config.json` file. On Linux, this file is
located on `/var/monkey/monkey_island/cc/server_config.json`. On windows, it's based on your install directory (typically
`C:\Program Files\Guardicore\Monkey Island\monkey_island\cc\server_config.json`). Reset the contents of this file
leaving the **deployment option unchanged** (it might be "vmware" or "linux" in your case):
```json
{
"server_config": "password",
"deployment": "windows"
}
```
Then reset the Island process (`sudo systemctl restart monkey-island.service` for linux, restart program for windows).
Finally, go to the Island's URL and create a new account.
## Should I run the Monkey continuously?
Yes! This will allow you to verify that no new security issues were identified by the Monkey since the last time you ran it.
