    [SOLVED] stuck at cvs password!

    Hi,

    I'm opening a tunnel to my work computer in order to retrieve source code,
    I open the tunnel and set my CVSROOT.

    After typing in cvs login,I'm asked for my cvs password,
    I don't have a clue what this is.

    Is there a way to retrieve the cvs password?

    CVS will use your regular login credentials. That's your unix username/password combination. You can set it to use ssh and a public/private key pair so you don't have to type in a password - this is well documented on the internet though so I wont go through it here.
