After a Windows update I cannot connect to a Windows Server 2008 machine via RDP. As an alternative, I remotely installed UltraVNC using PsExec.

The WinVNC service starts successfully but when I try to connect remotely, I receive the following error message:

This server does not have a valid password enabled.
Until a password is set, incoming connections cannot be enabled.

Since I don't have desktop access to the machine, how do I set the password?
