How do I delete 1 file from a revision in SVN?

Question

One of my co-workers checked in a some files in SVN and one of the files has a password in it. The password has been removed from the file and a new version checked in but the password is obviously still in the repository if we look at the revision history and go to that revision. (We're using TortoiseSVN as the client.)

So how do I securely delete that single file from the repository in SVN?

It isn't pretty: How do I completely remove a file from the repository's history?
