 ### Configuration
 
 #### General Configuration
-In `args/` directory, Copy `config-sample.json` to `config.json`.
+If not finished during installation, or to re-configure use:
 ```
-cp args/config-sample.json args/config.json
+npm run configure
 ```
-Edit the values in `args/config.json` as required.
-```
-{
-"privateKey": "<private-key>",
-"port": "<port>",
-
-"sql_user": "<MySQL-username>",
-"sql_pwd": "<MySQL-password>",
-"sql_db": "<database-name>",
-"sql_host": "<sql-host>"
-}
-```
-- **private-key**: Private key of the node
 - **port**: Port of the server to run on
-- **MySQL-username**: Username for MySQL
+- **MySQL host**: Host of the MySQL server (default: ***localhost***)
-- **MySQL-password**: Password for MySQL
+- **Database name**: Database in which the data should be stored (`<database-name>`) (default: ***supernode***)
-- **database-name**: Database in which the data should be stored (default: ***supernode***)
+- **MySQL username**: Username for MySQL (`<sql-username>`)
-- **sql-host**: Host of the MySQL server (default: ***localhost***).
+- **MySQL password**: Password for MySQL (`<sql-password>`)
 
 ***Recommended*** *(optional)* Create and use a MySQL user instead of root. Remember to give access to the database to the user.
 
-#### Parameter Generation *(Optional)*
+#### Set/Reset Node key password
-Open `args/gen-param.html` in a browser and download `param.json` to `SuperNodeStorage/args` directory.
+If not set during installation, or to reset password, use:
+```
+npm run reset-password
+```
+- **private key**: Private key of the node
+- **password**: Password to set for the node (`<password>`)
 
-*Note: `param.json` is used for controlled random values used by SecureRandom in Cryptography. If this step is skipped, `param-default.json` will be used as default parameter*
+**Note**: Private key of the node is encrypted using the `<password>`. Thus use a ***strong*** password.
