Corrupted Passwords

[Glenn Mabbutt]

If installed as a service the default password is in the registry under
HKLM\Software\ORL\Winvnc3 (it's somewhat encrypted) and the per-user
password is in HKCU\Software\ORL\Winvnc3.  If you're just running it in app
mode just the latter applies.

Did you set a default password AND a current user password??

Hello Everyone,

I have introduced the original WinVNC from ATT to our network and so far its
getting rave reviews from everyone. Its a great free product. Great work
ATT.

Anyways the reason why I'm writing is that we have noticed that something
seems to be happening not on every workstation mind you just certain ones
where the password gets corrupted and we are unable to login to the remote
station without having someone on-site locally reset the password through
default properties, this becomes a pain since we have numerous WAN locations
in various cities.

Has anyone else experienced this?? (We use the Windows version on NT 4 and
Win 2000) Any ideas as to what could cause this? Where does VNC store the
passwords?
