I have am install script called REPWD.CMD:
@echo off
net stop "VNC Server"
KIX32.EXE REPWD_vnc.KIX
net start "VNC Server
REPWD_vnc.KIX looks like:
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\Winvnc3\Default","Password","****************","REG_BINARY")
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\Winvnc3\Default","Password","****************","REG_BINARY")
The ***** is where the HEX for the new password must go. The way I did this was to
change the password, and then to manually look in the registry. You will not be able
to cut and paste this registry key, because it is a password so you will have to copy
it manually. Notice this changes the password for both the machine and the current
user at the same time.
And then you will need a copy of KIX32.EXE, and I cannot remember where I got mine
from, but its everywhere.
Have fun
Simon

Subject: Re: FW: NT VNC password Change
But have you rebooted? I can make it change, but after it
reboots, it seems to revert. So far, I have to do this:
1) Un-install VNC
2) reboot
3) Re-install VNC with new password
Seems a bit drastic, so I MUST be doing something wrong.
Anyone out there know my error?
Cheers,
Mike Leo
