Thank you Salvador it worked. I tried that earlier today but I just realised that I was connected to one of the client registry rather than the server registry.
We actually use the Fastpush method to install the clients as Services and is has a line in the machine.ini file Password = REG_BINARY 0x00000008 0xa86f166e 0x0cfe6e8d. Once the push is completed it then installs vnc as a service. Now how do I convert the Hex to the binary code for the fastpush? How did you work out the ABC123 = 275EA8D255B012F2 in Hex?

Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\Password. Stop and start the WinVNC service and you will be prompted to key-in the password. Type-in the password and go into the registry and open up the password key. You will see something like 275EA8D255B012F2 (hex for abc123). Create a .reg file with these lines [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default] "Password"=hex:27,5e,a8,d2,55,b0,12,f2 Then maybe create a batch file to run this silently for all the users (call this batch file from the users' logon script).
