Did you start a new game? If so. You don't need to enter the rcon. Nor do you need to use rcon before a command because you are the server.

Was the game offline when you set that?

Instead open server.lua and input.

1
parse("sv_rcon \"my password\"")

Then to use rcon type

1
2
rcon_pw "my password"
rcon commands

using Lua to set the rcon password shouldn't make any real difference (besides the fact that it is a ridiculous detour) - at least I don't know why someone should do that. I see no advantages in this method.

Maybe the password he uses has a bad character of some sort which cannot be read in the game or he simply typed his "correct password" wrongly which lead him to the effect of password mismatching, although this is just my speculations. I highly doubt that it's a malfunction I believe it's simply programmed to work that way.

No because he might have had the server running. If you edit server.cfg then close the server the old settings would be saved back in.

Another method is starting cs2d with a parameter "rcon" which will make the rcon unchangeable.

Create a shortcut of the cs2d_dedicated client and right click the shortcut-->properties-->and edit something like

1
C:/Program Files/Cs2D/Shortcut of CS2D_Dedicated.exe

To

1
C:/Program Files/Cs2D/Shortcut of CS2D_Dedicated.exe -rcon mypassword

If you're using a linux start the server like this.

1
/home/my_server/my_server -rcon mypassword
