I am also getting authentication failed when connecting from my raspian machine to the pi running the vncserver after changing the password (to what I guessed was the old password). However, I am connecting successfully from my Blackberry Playbook tablet (using iMT VNC). I did not change the stored password on the Playbook, therefore I had not forgotten the original vncserver password. Oh yes, I also couldn't restart the server, I just re-booted. Will investigate.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216438455076301559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231410913117709617.post-86149325380203105742014-10-25T15:13:09.643-04:002014-10-25T15:13:09.643-04:00It worked for me using as a guest a raspberry pi B...It worked for me using as a guest a raspberry pi B+ with raspian and a windows 7 with a tightvnc as a client.

I am trying to connect to my remote server red hat 5.2 by using Tight VNC Viewer installed on my local system XP. My /etc/sysconfig/vncserver contains following entry.<br /><br />VNCSERVERS="3:oracle"<br /> VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1024x768"<br /><br />I did following steps <br />1. Login as oracle (by using putty) and then fire <b> $vncpasswd </b> command to change password.<br /> 2. Then Login as root and restarted VNC service <br />3. Then I tried to connect to my remote host through tightVNC <br />But it returns error "Authentication Failed" even though i am entering correct password. It seems to me that it is not getting my changed password yet mean while I don't know old password and that's why i changed it.<br /><br />So plz can anybody help me to resolve this issue? Is password for VNC user stored in any file in user readable form?<br /><br />Optionally you can send me mail on tusharlapani@gmail.com if you have any <br />solution.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231410913117709617.post-24782077109615132882013-10-04T13:14:34.409-04:002013-10-04T13:14:34.409-04:00thanks a lot for the info
