The password is encrypted. You will either have to enter it in to the password settings box in VNC and copy the encrypted value from the registry, or use VncEnc to tell you the encoded value of the password. You can get VncEnc from http://www.darkage.co.uk/vnc/howto/vncenc.htm In fact if the machines in question are NT, 2000, XP you can use fastpush from the same site to install vnc with the settings you want remotely.

I wanted to keep the students from changing the settings so I changed the registry value according to the documentation. I couldnt quite figure out the password settings though. According to the documentation, the registry values are DWORD values but a password cannot be a DWORD value can it? I tried it as a string value but when I tried to access the computer remotely it failed to authenticate. Can you help? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
