The lock server is not installed and not running, or your
antivirus/firewall is preventing the connection.

The lock service runs on port 2402 - but a "good" firewall program wont
prevent a service connecting on 127.0.0.1 anyway - try opening port 2402
just to check though.

Otherwise it is probably that the cvslock service has not been
automatically installed and set running in the "services" windows
administrative control panel.

Try this if the firewall solution did not work:
cd C:\Archivos de programa\CVSNT\
.\cvslock.exe -i
net start cvslock

Or if that fails:
cd C:\Archivos de programa\CVSNT\
.\cvslock.exe -test

Then in another window:
cd C:\Archivos de programa\CVSNT\
.\cvs -d C:/cvsrepos/test init -a /cvsrepos-test
