How to Workaround Mac OS X Lion VNC Password Issue

You may be having trouble typing your username or password when VNC'ing to your Mac OS X Lion machine from a Windows machine.  Try the following:

1) Type the password really slowly, around 1 character per second

2) If that doesn't work, you may have a process taking a lot of CPU cycles.  If that's the case, ssh into your Mac OS X Lion machine, run "top", and see what process is taking a lot of CPU cycles.  Kill the process.  Then try to VNC in.
