The password BOINC uses to connect to BOINC Manager and for remote operations is stored in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file which is in the BOINC data directory. By default this is a random 32 character hexadecimal value.

When filling in your own password, just delete the password there, then add your own, but do not end with a line return (Enter)!

There is no need to set up a password for the service installation. If you have done so, remove the password from the service installation. The password is solely in the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file.

If the request is also how to set up BOINC to be able to accessed from a remote computer, see http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Controlling_BOINC_remotely.
