# 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).
## Usage
Usage: `consul acl bootstrap [options]`
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
@include 'http_api_options_server.mdx'
#### Command Options
- `-format={pretty|json}` - Command output format. The default value is `pretty`.
