Have a repo admin try the -u option of the unedit command
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/unedit.html>

The global option -H is also helpful:

<P:\>62>cvs -H unedit
Usage: cvs unedit [-lRwy] [-r] [-u user] [-b bug] [-m message] [files...]
        -b <bugid>      Unedit only files related to bug
        -l              Local directory only, not recursive
        -m <message>    Specify reason for unedit
        -r              Revert file only, don't unedit
        -R              Process directories recursively
        -u <username>   Unedit other user (repository administrators only)
        -w              Leave file writable after unedit
        -y              Force unedit of modified file
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
