Lost password
Hi
I am the administrator of a svn repo on a linux machine on which I created a few repositories a little while ago. I actually managed to forget my password since I didn't use the repos much.
But now I need to retrieve the files.
How can I do that?
Can I restore the password somehow? Or can I at least obtain the files somehow? THe files are the important thing. If I get somehow get the head revision, all would be good.
Thanks
r.

What type of auth are you using? Your password may be in clear text in your
repo root/conf/passwd file.

as you're the admin you'll be able to access the repos directly i.e.
using the file:// protocol - hence bypassing the password.
