Problems changing VNC password

[mjclarke]

I can't seem to change my VPN password from the initial "AmahiVNC" password. I have done 'vpnpasswd' on the HDA to change it, as explained in the Dashboard under Apps->Installed->VNC. Am I missing something?

I am using UltraVNC on a Windows 7 x64 machine. It connects fine, using the "AmahiVNC" password. I would just like to successfully change it.

Any suggestions?

Are you logging into your HDA using the first admin user? The VNC server setup uses that account.

I log into both the Amahi Dashboard and onto the HDA via VNC or directly using my user account, which was (i believe) the first one created, as an administrator. Is there a way to check to be sure?

In order to change the password, you have to open a terminal session or SSH into your HDA. Then at the command prompt as your first admin user, you do <code>vncpasswd</code>.
