i'm feeling really stupid. I want to use TortoiseCVS to checkout a repository using pserver protocol. Using Eclipse, there is a password-field where I enter my PW and all works fine. In TortoiseCVS there is only a user field and no way to enter my password. Of course it fails because of an "empty password used" if I try to load modules or checkout.
What am I doing wrong?
Ok, found the answer. Simply type user:password into the user field.
