Now in 2.0.58d they were the same as Windows gives them to CVS. As TortoiseCVS triggers for certain messages from CVS output, it is at the moment not able to catch the correct message and ask for the password (it is filed as bug in TortoiseCVS). It gets even worse if you have a server running in an other language than english, because the error message is localized. As a workaround, you can either cvs login from the command line (maybe with the correct options, see the CVS manual) or do what I did: Start the CVS password agent from the CVSNT package. This is a good thing for less CVS-trained users as it pops up as soon as the password is needed. As a permanent solution I suggested to return different error codes, but that seems to be a lot of work and will take some time...
