Bob, It sounds like the password that you have currently set is the "Current User" password. This is the password VNC uses when it's run in "App-Mode" and it's details live in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key in the registry.
What you need to do is just start VNC in the App-Mode and then go through the Start menu into VNC and Admin. Tools, then open "Show Default Settings". Once that opens, you should hopefully find that the password box is empty, so just fire a password in and that will be that. Hope this helps you, Regards, Daniel -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of WHPL Computer Technicians Sent: 25 March 2002 15:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Password Restriction Chris I saw your answer about restricting the end user from changing the setting. When I tried this it would not let me start the server again. It kept saying that password was not set. The password is set. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Thank you for helping make our service better!

Chris, see "WinVNC - The Win32 VNC server" <http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html>. Find the third instance of "AllowProperties"; read what follows: "If this is set to zero, the user is not allowed to view the properties dialog and hence cannot change any settings, including the password. Note that this stops all global per-user settings. A valid password must therefore be in force before using this setting, generally in the local default-user setting. Local per-user setting."
