HTTP Basic: Access denied fatal: Authentication failed

Question

I use GitLab Community Edition 9.1.3 2e4e522 on Windows 10 Pro x64. With Git client.

Error

Cloning into \'project_name\'...
remote: HTTP Basic: Access de         


        

Answer 1

For my case, I initially tried with

git config --system --unset credential.helper

But I was getting error

error: could not lock config file C:/Program Files/Git/etc/gitconfig: Permission denied

Then tried with

git config --global --unset credential.helper

No error, but still got access denied error while git pulling.

Then went to Control Panel -> Credentials Manager > Windows Credential and deleted git account.

After that when I tried git pull again, it asked for the credentials and a new git account added in Credentails manager.
