No password has been set & this machine....

[bspahr75]

I just installed WinVNC on Windows XP Pro. Now everytime the computer starts up I get the following error message:

No password has been set & this machine has been preconfigured to prevent users from setting their own.
You must contact a System Administrator to configure WinVNC properly.

How can I get rid fo this?

Are you logged in as an administrator when setting up UVNC ??

I have the same problem, I'm login as administrator when I setup UltraVNC

Any solutions to this issue??

See this thread [topic=8929]Can't set password when running as service[/topic]

I use a script to silently install Mirror driver and then silently install UVNC Service.

To avoid prompt for service password, I do a registry import before installing the UVNC service, so the service password has a predefined default value.

The value is, as you surely know by heart, HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default. I just exported the value from an already installed system to a VNCDEF.REG file and then use this script (install exes has been renamed for convenience):

net start winvnc
net stop winvnc && %~dp0winvnc -remove
%windir%\regedit /s %~dp0vncdef.reg
%~dp0uvnchdrv /verysilent
%~dp0uvncinst /verysilent
pushd %programfiles%\Ultravnc
winvnc -sinstall
:again
net stop winvnc
net start winvnc || goto again
