I don't know if this will fix it, but at least RealVNC has a user
password (used when the service is running by / for that user) and a
"default" password.  The properties reachable from the systray icon
are typicall those for the current user; to change the default (again,
under RealVNC) you have to use Start -> Programs -> RealVNC -> VNC
Server -> Show Default Properties (or similar).

Changing the default password should allow you to access the login
screen.

Good luck,
