how to find VNC password

You need to be running Leopard on your Mac. If you are, then go into System Preferences=>Sharing, and turn on "Screen Sharing". Then go into the Computer Settings dialog and set the password for VNC connections there.

Since you indicate a need to upgrade, I presume your Mac is at version 10.3 or earlier. In which case you can use the free version of Vine Server from Redstone Software.

You need the older 2.2 version. It's available at Versiontracker. Scroll down the page to the 2.2 download link. Don't use the download button near the top of the page, that's the current 3.0 version and it does not work with older Mac OS.

you really dont need leopard you only need 10.4, on that you go to system prefereneces, sharing, checkmark apple remote desktop, then click acesse privleges while apple remote desktop is highlighted and set your setting and password there.

ghart,

If the Mac Mini is the one in your signature, then you should have Mac OS X 10.4 already.

Go to the Sharing System Preference and Enable Remote Desktop. There is also an option to allow VNC clients to connect.

Hope this helps,
