     7  # Consul ACL Bootstrap
     8  
     9  Command: `consul acl bootstrap`
    10  
    11  The `acl bootstrap` command will request Consul to generate a new token with unlimited privileges to use
    12  for management purposes and output its details. This can only be done once and afterwards bootstrapping
    13  will be disabled. If all tokens are lost and you need to bootstrap again you can follow the bootstrap
    14  [reset procedure](https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/advanced/day-1-operations/acl-guide#ensure-the-acl-system-is-configured-properly).
    15  
    16  The ACL system can also be bootstrapped via the [HTTP API](/api/acl/acl.html#bootstrap-acls).
    17  
    18  ## Usage
