Problem commiting the code

Recently I faced this problem of committing one of the source files which I edited. It was checked-out recently and hadn't done any changes by me before.
I used netbeans as the IDE and when I tried to commit it says the authentication failed and keep asking for the login again and again.
The using Tortoise SVN tried to commit the source file from the folder structure and still got this error message.

Commit
Commit failed (details follow):
Aborting commit: 'D:\level4\final year
project\Project\versionMay28\DHT\src\dhtserverclient\ServerUI.java' remains in conflict

I put lot of time to figure out the error, but at the end it was some piece of cake.
In your google code it clearly says if you are a committer you need to checkout the source using https:// address. For non-members they can use http:// address and this is a read-only copy and you can't commit. My bad I didn't notice this before. So don't waste your time hereafter... :)
