The problem is that there are multiple passwords defined in your VNC setup -
one for the machine, one for the logged on user.
When you change the password while logged in (when else would you do it, of
course) it modifies the password in HKCU, not HKLM.
First, for reference, here is the WinVNC s

This is the default (HKLM) vs user (HKCU) behavior. You need to go in
with the registry editor and make the HKLM password key the same as your
HKCU password key.
I'm working on a better UI for tight vnc that corrects this problem.
