No Prompt for Password

[brownbat]

I'm trying to log in to an svn server, but I keep getting an Authentication error. The server is password protected, but I'm never asked for one, so I can't put in any passwords. Any ideas of where I might look or what I might try next?

The FAQ says I'll always be asked for a password if necessary... so I'm not sure what's up.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I've been searching on Google without much luck. Thanks for your time,

B

Is ist possible that you have already tried to log into that server
once, entered wrong credentials and saved them? Then tsvn won't prompt
you for a password again.

Search the folders in <Application Data>\Subversion\auth for the server
name in question. If you find it, delete the corresponding file and try
again.

If the server is set up for SSPI authentication, Subversion never gets
the chance to ask for authentication because it itself is never asked
for it - the SSPI auth happens in the background.

This can happen if your server has the "guest" account enabled but
"guest" isn't allowed to access the repository.
