How to change / reset lost or forgot TightVNC
administrator password
I have installed
TightVNC to a Windows host just a few weeks
ago in order to be able to manage remotely a Windows host and
forgot to write down the administrator password
(stoopid!)
I had to explain to a friend remotely how to change the TightVNC
admin password and it was a complete nightmare!
Shortly here is the exact menus one who wants to reset the password
of a TigthVNC server after forgotten:
Start -> All Programs -> TightVNC
-> TightVNC Server (Service Mode) ->
TightVNC Service - Offline Configuration.
In the configuration dialog to popup there are the
Server
and
Administration tabs through which a new password can be
set.
After the password is change either a restart of the TightVNC
server is necessery or a restart of the Windows PC.
