Well, see James' comment. If you can see it over the network, you can run
regedt32 against it. IIRC, though, the password is encrypted in the registry
anyway (And VNC does not allow blank passwords, so simply deleting it is
out) - so you have to crack that, first.
Eww, that's so icky and slashdotty and... linuxy.

I agree, except I'd put the odds even lower, an Amazonian animal researcher
with a dedicated satellite link using a Yahoo ID? :-)
What I would like to know though is just how difficult it is to crack
into a VNC server. A friend of mine uses it to fix problems remotely for
his family and I thought I could use it for the same purpose. However I
don't want to recommend it to people who aren't particularly technical and
computer security savvy if it's possible for hackers to easily break the
security.
