github push authentication is failing, looking for a way to reset the password - github

I can't find any instructions on how to reset the password for git push command on Windows. I'm using GitBash. I have used this same password since 2014, but can not remember it now. When I type
git push origin master
I get back
remote: Invalid username or password.
I have managed to forget what it is. I went through the process of installing a brand new SSH key with hope that in the process I would also reset the password then, but no luck. I also visited this page https://github.com/password_reset. I get back "email not found" message when I type in my email. I also went to their contact page (https://github.com/contact) and sent them an email. Their message there was "Thanks for getting in touch with us. We’ll get back to you shortly." I think their use of "shortly" is rather liberal - it has been over 5 hours. If anyone has instructions on resetting this password, please post back, SOS :)

Well, I finally figured out what had to happen. My password from what I understand stopped working, because my company changed the sign-in process. I followed this quick guide here (https://help.github.com/enterprise/2.5/user/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/) and it worked like a charm. I'm using the token instead of the password now.

Google Cloud SQL[postgres] - db=postgres,user=postgres FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

I googled and changed my postgres password from command line, I can able to login through windows client with no issue, but when i checked the database log through stackdriver on google it shows that "password authentication failed", not sure that is happening same i have attached below.
Please let me know how to fix this on Google space.
Still not went into the root cause but after some time when i redeployed my code into google app engine it went fine. still not done from my side but no change done on the code so considering from google side something went wrong at Cloud SQL[postgres] instance which got disappear.
Thanks for all putting your effort on my question.

Jenkins won't send e-mails anymore

This might be a tough thing to figure out but i have to give it a try.
With no changes i am aware of, my jenkins just stopped sending out e-mail notifications. I use jenkins 1.609 and email extension plugin 2.40.5. Jenkins runs as a service using a service user who also has the rights on the server to send e-mails. Ports to our smtp-server are unlocked. Used telnet for testing that everything works as expected. SMTP-server works fine, so it has something to do with jenkins and i cant figure out what is going wrong.
For some unknown reason jenkins still fails to send e-mails. When i use the test-feature that jenkins offers i get: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: 535 5.7.3 Authentication unsuccessful which tells me that either user or pw is incorrect, but as mentioned i've checked many times, it's setup correctly. Can anyone help out with this?
UPDATE:
After decrypting the password i can safely say that jenkins does save the password correct. Is there any way i can check that jenkins actually compares the correct encrypted passwords with each other? From my understanding jenkins uses 2 different encrypting techniques, maybe it uses tech1 for stored pw and tech2 for compare pw?
ANOTHER UPDATE:
Just tried adding a new certificate to the keystore, just in case, still no change.
MORE UPDATES:
Tried updating the mailer plugin- no change
Tried different users - all failed with the same error
So no matter what user i try, they all fail, but have jenkins execute a script which sends e-mails using said users it works.

nopcommerce password recovery not working properly

Password recovery is not working on the server after deployment. It is working fine on the localhost. I checked password recovery template and it is showing active. I am getting all the other mails after deployment such as order confirmation and welcome mails but there is some problem in password recovery. If I check the message queue it is showing sent but we are not receiving it. I tried to change the message template and if I keep only the text instead of any URL's than it is working fine but when I add passwords recovery URL we are not getting mails. If URL is a problem than how my other mails are working. I haven't made any changes in the core files. I checked on the nopcommerce forum but there are no one facing this issue.
Any help will be appreciated.

GitLab - Cannot push or pull. It seems to be a permission issue

Hope someone will be be able to help: I've installed GitLab and for a few days it seems that worked ok (I could push and pull only from a client but not from the machine that runs GitLab itself), however that's no longer the case. I have been working on the server (its my own server that I've setup for development/learning/personal stuff but I don't believe I've changed anything that could affect Gitlab, so I'm don't know what to do.
At the moment I can't push or pull from either my local machine (OS X 10.8.3) not from my server (Ubuntu 12.0.4). I've run the test several times and all is green. When I do git config user.name or git config user.email it comes back with my name and email respectively. I've also searched online but couldn't find anyone in exactly the same situation, however I did try many of the approaches suggested: I've deleted and generated more ssh keys, changed config in /home/git/gitlab/config.yml to reflect my setup (I'm running apache). My GitLab is 5.2 and I've followed the instruction on GitLab's homepage. In order to make it working with apache instead of nginx I've followed the instructions here:. This question seems the closest to describe my problem, however the solution is not clearly described, so I couldn't follow. The web ineterface works fine and I can commit either from my local machine (using sshfs) and my server. I just can't push or pull. The error I get is:
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
I'd appreciate any help. I've been struggling with this for days now and I'm on the brink of give GitLab up...
Many thanks
EDIT: On my server I've got three accounts: user1 (main, first user, root), user2 a sudoer that also has admin privileges and git which also is a sudoer. After more investigating, I'm pretty sure this is a problem of me messing up with permission and the ssh key. Can someone point me out: when I generate the ssh key, which user should I be logged in as? In which computer should I generate this key? On my server or my Mac? Also, when I've tried push from my server directly (I was physically logged in the server rather than sshed to server via my Mac) GitLab was asking for git's password. I then generated a key logged as git on the server and added to GitLab through the web interface and the error appeared again (the same as before). Still not fixed.
The problem in my case was that I changed the git credentials on my local machine (when you create a new repo, you set the user name and email Git and git#localhost respectively) that I had changed and didn't realise. That's why every time I was trying to either push or pull I got the error. Once that was changed back to the correct settings, Gitlab started working again. Leaving as it might be helpful to someone.

Error connecting to online fossil repository after changing password

I set up a fossil repository on a shared hosting account I have. I created a perl script fossil.pl that points to a cloned repository that I put up on the webspace. I set all the correct permissions (755). When I go to fossil.pl I get the web ui. Everythings cool. However I'm having a problem with pushes and hoping someone could point me to a solution.
When I clone a repository it sets a new password for me (Toby) in the new cloned repository. If I push to this repository online without changing the password it works fine, I can push up changes from my local machine to the online repository. However once I change the password for Toby (to something more easily remembered by me) I get the following error.
Bytes Cards Artifacts Deltas Send:
1810 9 0 2
1Server Error: not authorized to write
fossil: server says: not authorized to
write
Anyone know why this is happening? Anyone know how to fix it?
Fossil recently changed the details of how it saves passwords, which impacted the way authentication is done during clone, push, pull and sync.
One result of that change is that the initial password for the first user account created for you by the clone stores the password the old way, but changing any password updates it to the new way. To force all password records in a repository to use the new method use "fossil test-hash-passwords".
I would verify that both copies of fossil are after that revision, upgrading both ends as needed.
Note that if upgrading to the most recent versions available, you must do "fossil rebuild" on the server (and locally too for any clones) due to changes in the database schema. Since that is always safe to do, it is wise to do it after any upgrade.
Up until recently users and passwords were never cloned across. It's generally a good idea, when you clone, to make sure password on local and your remote are identical, and test it with a sync.
