Set password on server - game doesn't start...

Hi all,
I can see posts about this same issue going back years but I can't seem to find the solution!
I can start my game and host it without a password and other people can join. However, if I go into core/scripts/server/defaults.cs and set a password
the game will not start at all. I simply get a slow and endless loop of:
..in my console log.
If I had tried that first, I'd be looking at my router and firewall and thinking there was a problem there, but since it works fine without a password it has to be the game.
Any ideas?

$Pref::Server::Password = "aa";

Sending heartbeat to master server [IP:74.63.12.22:28002] Received info request from a master server [IP:74.63.12.22:28002].

I remember soemthing like this happening too. It's because its trying to connect to itself with that password that you didn't set. I think. Try removing the password?

It works absolutely fine locally and multiplayer when there is no password set. As soon as I set a password though - nothing..
