You need to set BOTH the default and user-specific passwords. When you are running outside the context of a user logged in, it uses the default password. Once you have connected and then logged in as a user, the next authentication (such as when you get disconnected and have to try to reconnect again) will use the user-specific password. Restarting the VNC server remotely from another NT server would let me connect again, probably because VNC no longer knew what user context it should be in and reverted to the default password. I scratched my head on this one for a while, too, and it finally dawned on me that was my problem.
