Using password file /home/pi/.vnc/passwd
Password:
Verify:
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ service vncserver restart

I also got the 'vncserver: unrecognised service' message… but IGNORED it, and tried an iMac VNC (wifi) connection… success !

Thank you very much!

I am also getting authentication failed when connecting from my raspian machine to the pi running the vncserver after changing the password (to what I guessed was the old password). However, I am connecting successfully from my Blackberry Playbook tablet (using iMT VNC). I did not change the stored password on the Playbook, therefore I had not forgotten the original vncserver password. Oh yes, I also couldn't restart the server, I just re-booted. Will investigate.

thanks
