We have investigated the sensitivity of CMS for finding the Higgs boson in the H -> bb channel. An excellent b-tagging performance and a good jet resolution are the main requirements needed for a successful event selection. In the Standard Model (SM), the ttH -> l nu qq bb bb channel is accessible, if the Higgs mass is lighter than m(H) ~ 125 GeV, already during the first years of the LHC. Also, most of the MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model) parameter space can be covered. The WH -> l nu bb channel is only accessible with high luminosity at the LHC. In both channels the mass can be determined with a precision of a few per cent and the Higgs couplings at the level of 10%.
