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:
