VisualSVN Server wants a username and password

I've renamed my server and am trying to get to the VisualSVN Server repository via TortoiseSVN. In this post Gordon helped me find the right command - thanks Gordon.

Now VisualSVN Server is asking me for a username and password. I don't recall setting one and if I did I've forgotten it. Any idea how to reset this username / password?

What is VisualSVN authentication?

This feature is designed for Active Directory domain environments and allows users to access VisualSVN Server with their Windows credentials. VisualSVN Server supports two different authentication methods: Basic authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication.

Who can access VisualSVN Server?

Only Active Directory Domain users can access VisualSVN Server. It's impossible to grant access to users that don't have account in the Active Directory Domain (external contractors, for example). Note that with Basic authentication usernames and passwords are transmitted over the network in plain text.

Does VisualSVN Server support subversion and Windows authentication schemas?

VisualSVN Server supports Subversion and Windows authentication schemas. Subversion authentication relies on the internal users list maintained by VisualSVN Server while Windows authentication relies on Active Directory credentials.

Is there a single sign-on (SSO) for VisualSVN?

No Single Sign-On. Nevertheless the fact that users are authenticated using their Windows credentials, they are still requested to enter their username and password in order to access the VisualSVN Server. No two-factor authentication.

It depends on how your Visual SVN Server is set up. If you are using native windows authentication, just enter you domain username and password. Otherwise, you will have to log into the machine running Visual SVN Server and reset your password there. Visual SVN Server provides a convenient tool for managing users, passwords, permissions, etc. This tool should be available from the Start Menu on your server.
