[SOLVED] VNC / SSH connection available when running in RAM?

[Leonard]

Is it possible to access the machine using VNC or SSH when starting the GUI in RAM mode?

RealVNC gives the message 'connection was refused by the host computer'. I have tried entering the IP of the computer directly and tried port 1 and 5901. I don't expect this to be a firewalll problem as I can access all other computers on my network without any problem.

I have also tried to connect via SSH (using Putty). For this I need to enter a password. However I don't have one. Resetting it via the 'Home' tab doesn't work as it needs to have a userid for that and it seems that it can't find one. You can also see this because it states "Your user account is: . You can login using a ssh client remotely or directly...." on the 'Home' page.
