Hi, first of all an indication: there are two password to configure in VNC, a "system level" password and a "user level" password. A "system level" password is used before a "windows user logon" (VNC used like a windows service), a "user level" pasword is used after a "windows user logon". To setup both the password you have to use from the "Start" menu: * RealVNC\VNC Server 4 (Service-Mode)\Configure VNC Service * RealVNC\VNC Server 4 (User-Mode)\Configure User-Mode Settings
