# 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
|
|
[reset procedure](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/security-networking/acl-troubleshooting?utm_source=consul.io&utm_medium=docs#reset-the-acl-system).
|
|
|
|
The ACL system can also be bootstrapped via the [HTTP API](/api/acl/acl#bootstrap-acls).
