All operations you describe (both CVSROOT and password) can be changed on
the "Connect to CVSROOT dialog". It appears when you perfrom "Add from
source control" or "Add to source control operations. Also it is appears on
"Change source control" operation.
But CVSROOT cannot be change on "Change source control". Even you change it
in dialog it will not be changed because stored on the local filesystem (as
server file inside /cvs subfolder in each folder).
Password can be changed pressing on "Login" button, and this work not
depending on how this dialog appears to you.

We are unable to set the CVSROOT correctly inside VS.NET 2003 because the
length of the CVSROOT seems to be limited to 72 characters when we try to
edit it in File|Source Control|PushOk CVS Proxy Properties and click on
Server Options tab.

Also, my password on the CVS server has changed, now I'm unable to use
PushOk plugin to access my files because I can't find where I can change
the password on the client side (PushOk plugin).
