I need to change my svn password. I am using TortoiseSVN client. Not able to find password change option. Is it possible or not. Is there any work around or command line syntax.
A:
Go to TortoiseSVN-Settings, then Saved Data - Clear authentication data. Next time you connect you should be asked for new credentials.

To change your password for accessing Subversion
Typically this would be handled by your Subversion server administrator. If that's you and you are using the built-in authentication, then edit your [repository]\conf\passwd file on your Subversion server machine.
To delete locally-cached credentials
Follow these steps:
- Right-click your desktop and select TortoiseSVN->Settings
- Select Saved Data.
- Click Clear against Authentication Data.
Next time you attempt an action that requires credentials you'll be asked for them.
If you're using the command-line svn.exe use the --no-auth-cache option so that you can specify alternate credentials without having them cached against you Windows user.

I think OP wants to change his password on the server side.

A:
Password changes are handled by the subversion server administrator. As a user there is no password change option.
Check with your server admin.

A:
You can't change your password through Tortoise; it has to be changed on the SVN server itself. How you actually achieve this depends on your individual server environment and how SVN is set up.
You don't mention if you are the server admin, but in a Windows environment, credentials are typically stored in <yoursvnroot>\conf\passwd. In a Linux environment it could be as above, or a myriad of other ways depending on how it's hosted.
