Password changes are handled by the subversion server administrator. As a user there is no password change option.

Check with your server admin.

If you are the admin, find your SVN Server installation. If you don't know where it is, it could be listed in Start->Programs, running under services in Start->Control Panel->Services or it could be listed under C:\Program Files.

The SVN Server should have an application to run to add/change/delete authentication and users.

To change your password for accessing Subversion  Typically this would be handled by your Subversion server administrator   If that s you and  you are using the built-in authentication  then edit your  repository  conf passwd file on your Subversion server machine   To delete locally-cached credentials  Follow these steps    Right-click your desktop and select TortoiseSVN- Settings Select Saved Data  Click Clear against Authentication Data    Next time you attempt an action that requires credentials you ll be asked for them   If you re using the command-line svn exe use the --no-auth-cache option so that you can specify alternate credentials without having them cached against your Windows user
