Hello maintain001,

thank you for your feedback.

I've just tested the following three cases and they've worked just fine - the VNC password has been changed to 'foo' in all three cases:

docker run -d -P -e VNC_PW=foo --name=foo accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-default docker run -d -P -e VNC_PW=foo --name=foo accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-plus docker run -d -P -e VNC_PW=foo --name=foo accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce

Could it be, that you've used spaces or special characters in your new password? In such case you have to use quotes - like this:

docker run -d -P -e VNC_PW="foo 123" --name=foo accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce

I've tested also this case and the new password has been successfuly set to 'foo 123' (with a space in the middle).

Test it once more please and let me know if it worked.

Regards, accetto
