Robert, You seem to describe two separate problems - first you say that you can't connect, then you say that it "does manage to actually connect" - can you clarify what you mean?
If "no password is ever right" then you're typing in the wrong password, or you haven't set a password at the server! It's worth checking what you're typing by typing the same password into something like notepad at both server & viewer, to check that you are really typing the same thing on both. Also make sure that you are configuring VNC Server for the correct mode (usually Service-Mode). What is the error message you get after entering the password? [No Encryption] means that the VNC session won't be encrypted - this is always the case for VNC Free Edition. With VNC Enterprise Edition at both ends, you have the option of 128-bit encryption.
