The command to change your password varies significantly between operating systems.

In the most current Windows systems, you have to go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts, then select the account you want to change the password on.

In Linux and Unix systems, the command is usually "passwd"

In Apple OS X, the command is also "passwd" as command line entry.

To change an SVN password:

if your reposistory is called 'repo' and password-db = passwd in

/var/svn/repo/conf/svnserve.conf

your username and password are in human readable format and stored in

/var/svn/repo/conf/passwd

If you need to change the password edit the passwd file (in your repository conf directory) with you favorite editor and save it.
