Unable to commit code to google code with Tortoise SVN: Authentication Fails

Question

I am trying to commit some updates to my personal project on google code and get prompted for the user and password as expected. When I enter what I know is the valid user and password it fails with the following error:

Commit Commit failed (details follow): MKACTIVITY of '/svn/!svn/act/9a2c12c9-9adf-5d48-85da-616bfe91e95f': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://jaysmith.googlecode.com)

My password does have some special characters in it but works for logging into Google Reader, and other Google services.

Any ideas?

You should get a special password to use with the repository. It won't be your regular google password
