    When joining a friend's server, if you inadvertently type in the wrong password, that incorrect password is now locked in. In other words, I have no way of correcting the error as the game will no longer ask for a password, and, if my friend changes their server, my game still uses the wrong password. He had to change his password to match the erroneous one I had entered earlier.

    We are having the same problem, we put in an invalid password and not getting the prompt to reput in the password. Have have uninstalled the game, we have deleted all files, we have started 20 different servers with different passwords but its not letting us join or connect. We did everything that the linked page said but right now since we deleted everything we have no files or logs.

    @plparkhurst @Zantame are you both trying to join in Co-op mode ? For the standalone dedicated server the prompt to renenter your password always appears for me but it's not appearing in Co-op mode.

    Ask the host to first stop the server then go into the save games folder & open the dedicated.yaml in a text editor (notepad or notepad++) then remove the password.
    For example like this:

    Code:
    ServerConfig:
      Srv_Name: Test
      Srv_Password: Test123
    
    To this:

    Code:
    ServerConfig:
      Srv_Name: Test
      Srv_Password:
    
    Then save the file & try starting the save again in co-op mode.
    (Passwords aren't really needed for co-op mode only friends on your steam friends list can see & join it anyway)

    ====

    I'll ask about this in the mean time if you need you can go into your windows registry (perhaps make a windows system restore point before touching your registry so you have something to go back to though this method should be fine I just did it also) then navigate to here:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eleon Game Studios\Empyrion - Galactic Survival

    & look for "PasswordCache_h3920983830" & right click on it & delete it then close the windows registry & start the game again & try to join once more.

    We took of the password and it still wouldnt let us join. As for the registry I will try it later tonight and get back to you with. Thank you for your rapid answers. I love the game and bought it for 2 of my friends and was really sad when we could get this to work. So thank you for helping us get this fixed.
