Having installed Remote Desktop on my Ubuntu Intrepid box makes me easy to control my desktop from anywhere to work,  but today when i tried to connect to my desktop,i forgot the password for it

frustated

then i try to find some answers to change remote desktop password from terminal by googling, so i found this solution for 8.04 :

- gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false
- gconf-editor
- paste encode password from: http://www.javazoom.net/services/base64/base64.jsp
- or use:
- gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/remote_access/vnc_password <encode_pwd>
- or use:
- System-> preferences-> Remote Desktop
- set pwd as desired…
- manual text edit of %gconf.xml does not seem to work!
- gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
- verify .gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml
