Re: Encoding a password?

I can't answer your question directly, but I can tell you how to get a 
connection:

Connection connection = ConnectionFactory.getConnection(connectionString);
connection.open();

This method has the advantage of being agnosting to the type of 
connection (remote or local).
connectionString would be a complete CVSROOT string, including the user 
name and password:

[:method:][[user][:password]@]hostname[:[port]]/path/to/repository

This comes from the CVS manual:
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.17/cvs_2.html#SEC26
