I've never set up vncserver like this, but if your windows vncviewer is 
asking for a password, then it should be correct.

The most common reason for the grey screen is an unmodified 
~/.vnc/xstartup file.  The standard one that's installed typically calls 
twm.  I recommend modifying it to read as follows:

#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

If you do that, then vncserver will start whatever your default X 
environment is.

I also have a simple HOWTO on tunneling vnc (I use tight-vnc) through ssh, 
server on Redhat, client on windows.  It's at:
