# indestructibility generate-token

This command generates a VMS token for unlocking the cluster's indestructibility mechanism. This command is intended for users who are authorized to unlock the cluster's indestructibility mechanism and requires a dedicated password.

Before running this command, open a support request for a challenge token. Support will verify that you are authorized to unlock the indestructibility mechanism. Run the command to generate the token and then provide the token to Support. Support will provide you with a challenge token. You can then run the [indestructibility unlock](/docs-5-5/docs/indestructibility-unlock) command with the challenge token to unlock.

For more information about indestructibility, see [Indestructible Backups](/docs-5-5/docs/indestructible-backups).
