Have a repo admin try the -u option of the unedit command
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/unedit.html>
The global option -H is also helpful:
<P:\>62>cvs -H unedit
Usage: cvs unedit [-lRwy] [-r] [-u user] [-b bug] [-m message] [files...]
-b <bugid> Unedit only files related to bug
-l Local directory only, not recursive
-m <message> Specify reason for unedit
-r Revert file only, don't unedit
-R Process directories recursively
-u <username> Unedit other user (repository administrators only)
-w Leave file writable after unedit
-y Force unedit of modified file
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
