RealVNC Connection problem

Hey, I just downloaded the newest version of RealVNC from their site yesterday. When logging in with root, everything works fine. But when I log into any other account I get an "access is denied" message. I have the program installed in "root" and when I installed it again under a different account, I got "username or password is incorrect"

What am I doing wrong? The other user accounts were created after I had already installed the VNC program. I'm running Solaris 10 on SunFire880.

Thanks

NAME
vncpasswd - change the VNC password SYNOPSIS
vncpasswd [passwd-file] vncpasswd -f DESCRIPTION
vncpasswd allows you to set the password used to access VNC desktops. Its default behavior is to prompt for a VNC password and then store an obfuscated version of this password to passwd-file (or to $HOME/.vnc/passwd if no password file is specified.) The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and it invokes Xvnc with the appropriate -rfbauth option. vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option. The password must be at least six characters long (unless the -f command-line option is used-- see below), and only the first eight charac- ters are significant. Note that the stored password is not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plain-text password, so vncpasswd always sets appropriate permissions (read and write only by the owner.) However, when accessing a VNC desktop, a challenge-response mechanism is used over the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network. OPTIONS
-f Filter mode. Read a plain-text password from stdin and write an encrypted version to stdout. Note that in filter mode, short or even empty passwords will be silently accepted. FILES
$HOME/.vnc/passwd Default location of the VNC password file. SEE ALSO
