Reset Vnc Password

The VNC Server Password Reset Wizard

In this video we are going to reset VNC Password Raspberry Pi.Visit website link for Documentation: https://pcmac.biz/tightvnc-server-remote-tool-installati. When you use VNC Viewer to connect to a remote computer for the first time, you are prompted to enter a username and password. This authenticates you to VNC Server, the program running on the remote computer. Reset your password. Automatically discover, seamlessly connect to, and centrally manage your remote computers with VNC Server installed. Address book sharing.

VNC Password Recovery is easy to use.Here are the brief usage details: Launch' VNC Password Recovery' on your system; Select Automatic or Manual Mode (to enter encrypted password manually). Next click on 'Start Recovery' button. Instantly all the stored VNC Passwords will be recovered & displayed as shown in screenshot 1 below. 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.

The Reset VNC Server Password Wizard allows you to reset the VNC server password on remote Windows-based computers. The Wizard is compatible with the following VNC distributions: RealVNC, TightVNC, and UltraVNC.

Prerequisites: Before running the VNC server password reset task, please make certain that your client and the remote computers meet all of the prerequisites described in 'Prerequisites' KB article.

To start the VNC Server Password Wizard, select Wizards & Tools from the Computer Manager tab of the Registered Computers resource frame. Alternatively you can open a context menu on the registered computers list and select VNC Tasks -> VNC Server Password Wizard command.

Configuring a Password Reset Task

The numbered items apply to the numbers shown in the picture at right:

This option specifies the product on the target computers. Please make sure that you select the correct VNC server distributions.
Checking this option restarts the target computer, making the new password effective afterward.

Virtual Network Computing or mostly people just calls it VNC is a system to remotely control a computer as if you are sitting in front of the PC even though you are away from it. Although Windows comes with remote desktop feature that accomplishes the same thing as VNC, most server administrators still prefers to use VNC due to cross platform compatibility plus they are also free unless you are using the Personal or Enterprise version of RealVNC for extra security and features such as the deployment tool. The VNC comes in two modules which is the Viewer that is used to control the Server module.

Just like any other remote control software, the VNC server can be password protected to prevent unauthorized users from controlling the server. The password that is saved on the server is encrypted with DES but unfortunately the algorithm has already been cracked long ago. There are quite a number of third party tools that claims to automatically decrypt and display the VNC server password but most of them are not updated to work with the latest versions of VNC. From what we’ve tested, VNCPassView by Nirsoft can only display UltraVNC password, VNCPwdump by Patrik Karlsson failed to display RealVNC password with either the -s or -c switch, and VNC Password Decryptor too failed to fetch and decrypt VNC passwords on a local computer.

These automated VNC password recovery tool doesn’t work because the location of the DES encrypted password that is saved on the computer has changed and they are not updated to read from the new paths. Here we will guide you on how to locate the VNC encrypted password and also how to manually decrypt them either through web based or locally via command line tool.

Locating the encrypted VNC password

Most of the VNCs encrypted password are saved in registry while only UltraVNC is saved in an INI file. Here is an example on how to get the encrypted password for RealVNC based on the registry location provided below.

1. Click the Start button, type regedit in the Search programs and files bar followed by pressing Enter.

2. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder by double clicking on it and continue doing that for SOFTWARE, RealVNC and until you reach vncserver.

3. At the right pane, you should see a registry name called Password with the type as REG_SZ and random characters for the data. The random characters you see for Password is the encrypted password for RealVNC and please take note of it for decryption.

RealVNC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARERealVNCvncserver
Value: Password

TightVNC
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTightVNCServer
Value: Password or PasswordViewOnly

TigerVNC
HKEY_LOCAL_USERSoftwareTigerVNCWinVNC4
Value: Password

UltraVNC
C:Program FilesUltraVNCultravnc.ini
Value: passwd or passwd2

Once you’ve got the encrypted VNC password, the next step is to decrypt it. Here we offer two choices which is the web based that is very easy to use but requires an internet connection to access it or a command line tool that works on an offline computer but requires to run from command prompt.

Decrypting the encrypted VNC password

Method #1: Web based

The online VNC password decoder at Tools88.com has been online since 1997 and is still working today. All you need to do is paste the encrypted password at the Input box, click the button with two Chinese characters and the real password will be instantly displayed at the Result box.

Method #2: Command line tool

The VNC Password Decoder (vncpwd) tool by Luigi Auriemma can decrypt classic VNC DES encryption method. Simply embed the encrypted password after the command line tool and the real password will be displayed. To use vncpwd, click Start button, type cmd at search bar and press Enter. Change to the directory where vncpwd.exe is located and run the following commnad line:

vncpwd.exe ENCRYPTEDPASSWORD

very useful!
Is it possible to do the other way?
Encrypt a password like Real VNC does?

You can use common DES encryption (ECB) alghorithm with some changes:
You should mirror hard secret key of VNC:
vnc_key = [23, 82, 107, 6, 35, 78, 88, 7]
new key for “normal” DES:
vnc_key_for_classic_DES = [232, 74, 214, 96, 196, 114, 26, 224]
No password changing needed.
