# Can I set a password to VNC?

## The Endpoint Manager Console for Reboot Restore Enterprise and Rollback Rx Pro includes remote control features which depend on VNC. By default, we auto-generate a random password at every connection. This article shows how to set a custom password.

### How to set a custom password when using the Remote Control features of the EndPoint Manager Console?

1. In the EndPoint Manage Console \> View \> Options, toggle on the **Show logon screen for remote control.**

2\. Run **EVncViewer.exe** for the remote control with your custom password. This program is located on on the PC/Server hosting the EndPoint Manager Console, default location: C:\\Program Files\\Reboot Restore Enterprise\\Reboot Restore EndPoint Manager. 

### How to use the Remote Control features

From the EndPoint Manager console, you can Share your Screen or Remote Control to any connected PCs.

**Share Screen**

Click on the Clients menu (or right-click on any PC) \> Remote Control \> Share Screen.

**Remote Control**

*Only one PC can controlled at time. Enter the correct Port number (in screenshot example it is 5900) that matches your console (default is 9000).* 

Click on the Clients menu (or right-click on any PC) \> Remote Control \> Remote Control.
