Remove it:

git config --global --unset core.askpass

I think the default is GIT_ASKPASS, followed by SSH_ASKPASS, followed by a simple password prompt. It's suggested you set it via the GIT_ASKPASS environment variable, though.

git config --global core.askpass SSH_ASKPASS didn't work. –  Mohsen Dec 3 '12 at 21:16
