ssh into you RPi.
xbian-config should start automatically. Option 3 Services Select vnc-server Select start/autostart as required. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

If you selected start automatically, there is no need to start it from the shell as it should be running.
To manually start/stop run sudo stop/start vnc-server I've just tested on latest RPi2 S/W from Ubuntu and it works fine. I would check your setting in Win8. Use none or ssh Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

It's the same password you set for xbian - if not, then the default raspberry. However there is no need to set credentials it will connect without any,

Thanks IriDium,
I was getting the ZlibHex unknown subencoding error when using chicken vnc on my Mac. Don't know what caused it. I switched to use tightvnc on Windows and it worked. |

RE: How do I manually start the vnc server?
I actually have an issue where I can connect to VNC properly, but I see no screen updates on the client; it just stays at the starting xbian splashscreen. Make the vnc client window your focused window, and see if you can control your pi (it needs to be hooked up to a screen to test). If so, it's working, just not sending X properly.

@Jibbij Do not use any credentials, also it is not an X server, so don't select that option. Use the defaults and it will connect.
