Teamspeak 3 Recovering privilege key after first startup (MySQL/MariaDB Only)

Heads up — this article is over 123 months old. Some of the details may have changed since it was written.

When deploying a Teamspeak3 server one thing that is vital for the first time startup is to make a note of the privilege key, but what do you do if for some reason you didn’t write it down?

In this article I will show you how to retrieve it!

  1. Login to your Teamspeak3 server
  2. Connect to SQL:
  mysql -uyouruser -p
  1. Select your TS3 Database:
  USE <DatabaseName>;
  1. Sleect the Tokens Table:
  SELECT * FROM tokens;
  1. You should see a privilege key copy this (token_key) column

Its as simple as that! the privilege key can only be used once, when it has been used it will be removed from the tokens table.
