# Consul ACL Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command: `consul acl bootstrap`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `acl bootstrap` command will request Consul to generate a new token with unlimited privileges to use
|
|
|
|
|
for management purposes and output its details. This can only be done once and afterwards bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
|
will be disabled. If all tokens are lost and you need to bootstrap again you can follow the bootstrap
