Because most organizations never keep your password. They hash it to something else so even the organization doesn't know it (plausible deniability). I'm sure you can retrieve it from TortoiseCVS somehow (it has to have it in plaintext or some reverse-hashable function to commit your stuff) or you can reset your password and then update TortoiseCVS when it prompts you next time. -Doug -- Doug Warner <[email protected]> Site Developer Mozdev.org http://www.mozdev.org _______________________________________________ Project_owners mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/project_owners
