Ideas: - are you sure you are setting the password in the default properties, not the user properties? (if you are setting it in the user properties, you would be connect with vnc only when you are logged on, and a reboot will log you of hence the idea) - look at the registry keys, see if that has changed. See what changes if you set the password, if it's chaged back when you reboot etc. - the virus that contains vnc may have set a password of it's own on every reboot(?) - registy corruption (unlikely if you reinstalled, more likely if you restored a backup with the registry in it) - vnc version? afaik only the first 8 chars of a pwd are used...
