Just install RealVNC free edition and I can't connect when it's running as a service because there is no password set. When I run "VNC Server (User Mode)" I can connect fine. How can I set the password for the service?
Googling didn't turn up any answers. Running server on Windows 7 ultimate and client on Windows XP.
Best Answer
When in service mode, you should have a task-bar icon:
Right click over the task-bar icon;
Select "Options...";
If UAC is active, select yes;
From the window presented, access the first tab "Connections";
Click on Configure...;
Set your VNC Server password, repeat the password and press ok;
You're set, you should now be able to connect to your VNC Server with the password you've just set.

Value named "DisableTrayIcon";Right click over it and select "Modify...";
The value should be set to "1", replace it with "0" to show the tray icon;
