So for some reason my remote repository password has changed.
Now every time I try to perform any action via my computer (push, pull ect) I'm just getting 403 error.

Does anyone know how I can reset the password that git (I assume) has saved somewhere?

It depends on your OS and the version of Git you are using.

For Mac, you might have been using the OSX Keychain.
In that case, use git credential-osxkeychain erase in order to reset.

On Windows, try git config credential.helper store.

  • thanks for the suggestion, it seems none of those methods suggested worked to removed the credentials for me. I'm using Git-hub for Windows. Here is the exact error I'm encountering `fatal: unable to access 'https://www.example.com/': The requested URL returned error: 403` That's not my actual site name up there i just changed it because it was too long. – Cody Middleton Mar 31 '15 at 08:27

Fixed, had to delete git from appdata to get it to re-ask the password.
