The Infection Monkey agent shuts off either when it can't find new victims or it has exceeded the quota of victims as defined in the configuration.
## How do I reset the Monkey Island password?
## Reset/enable the Monkey Island password
When you first access the Monkey Island server, you'll be prompted to create an account.
If you forget the credentials you entered, or just want to change them, you need to alter
the `server_config.json` file manually.
On Linux, the default path to `server_config.json` is `$HOME/.monkey_island/server_config.json`.
On Windows, it is `%AppData%\monkey_island\server_config.json`.
Reset the contents of this file leaving the **deployment option unchanged**
(it might be "VMware" or "Linux" in your case):
To reset the credentials or enable/disable the authentication,
edit the `server_config.json` file manually
(located in [data directory](/reference/data_directory)).
The following edits need to be made:
1. Delete the `user` field if one exists. It will look like this:
```json
{
...
"user": "username",
...
}
```
1. Delete `password_hash` field if one exist. It will look like this:
```json
{
...
"password_hash": "$2b$12$d050I/MsR5.F5E15Sm7EkunmmwMkUKaZE0P0tJXG.M9tF.Kmkd342",
...
}
```
1. Set `server_config` to `password`. It should look like this:
```json
{
...
"environment": {
"server_config": "password",
"deployment": "windows"
}
...
},
...
}
```
Then, reset the Monkey Island process.
