Shao he, as we have ever discussed, currently, this password is just vnc 
password.

To me, this vnc is just like the physical display of a physical machine.
A physical display does not need a password to turn it on.

So for a person with good security sense, he will log off when he leave 
a machine.

I did not mean that this vnc password protection is not needed.
But for some person, it is redundant, OS password is enough.
So I think we need API to clear the password as well.
