How to change / reset lost or forgot TightVNC administrator password
thanks for reporting about comments, problem I will check what’s wrong when I have some time.
I don’t have time to check about the registry’s documentation ’bout it. Maybe, Just try to use teamviewer instead for now 🙂


How to change / reset lost or forgot TightVNC administrator password
Hmm, yes I understand the previous time the situation. That’s quite unusual. A bit of stupid work around might be to uninstall and install TightVNC? It could be it is remembering the password somewhere in windows registry.
Check – http://www.tightvnc.com/winst.php it has path for TightVNC Windows registry. I don’t have TightVNC in front of me so can’t check but I guess there should be some value or smth. Pls drop a comment back if works.

How to change / reset lost or forgot TightVNC administrator password
Hi Jems,

Yes this is definitely a security issue but I’m not regularly working on Windows so don’t know, I have not noticed that, maybe password is stored somewhere in temporary files in a file or some cache. Try cleaning the Windows temporary files C:WindowsTemp* and Temporary Internet files and see if this helps ?

       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
