For those who are looking for how to reset access to the repository. By the example of GitHub. You can change your GitHub profile password and revoke all "Personal access tokens" in "Settings -> Developer settings" of your profile. Also you can optionally wipe all your SSH/PGP keys and OAuth/GitHub apps to be sure that access to the repository is completely blocked. Thus, all the credential managers, on any system will fail at authorisation and prompt you to enter the new credentials.

do these steps in Terminal:

1. Delete current password saved in your Mac

   git config --global --unset user.password
   

2. Add your new password by using this command, replace with your new password:

   git config --global --add user.password <new_pass>

If you are MAC user then you can open KeyChain Access Application from finder and then look for your account listed there. Just click on it and update your password. Now give a try and things will fall in place.
