CVS login failing

I can't get login via CVS.
I haven't used it for ages- so I could be screwing up myself

alan@ubuntu-dell:~/projects/drupal-devel/sites/contributions/modules$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:alanburke@cvs.drupal.org:2401/cvs/drupal-contrib
CVS password: 
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.drupal.org rejected access to /cvs/drupal-contrib for user alanburke

I've rest my password on the account page, and waited a bit.
Still no joy.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Regards
Alan
