Re: VNC authentication failed

wow thanks!!!
SOLUTION to the problem is to just press the backspace button for 15 minutes when entering a new password for the vnc server.
You save me a lot of time thanks!

Then I reentered the password and BINGO. It worked.

Could this be the problem?? That when you enter the password wrong, and you want to retype it, it doesn't actually erase the old one??
Wow, what a ridiculous bug. This tripped me it too, thanks so much for this post.

Is this bug being tracked/fixed?

AWESOME Kubug!
I cannot believe that bug was not fixed by now.

Either way, thanks for letting us know. I was very upset it did not work.
