How to reset password of a CVS user?


I have no knowledge of CVS administration. It's installed in my server and unfortunately the password of my user is not working. I was using this user to commit/checkout code from Eclipse. I don't have the root access of this server.

Is there any way that I can reset the password of my CVS user?

Any hint?


Solution

  • In this case, it appears that CVS is setup to use ssh to connect to the server running the CVS repository.

    If you can use an ssh client to login to that server, (since you don't know the password, this would have to be via a previously established ssh key), then you could reset your password there (with the passwd command most likely). Otherwise, you're going to need the assistance of an admin on the server.
