title: Git CMD: Getting HTTP Basic: Access denied issue when trying to clone the project from GitLab
body: <p>While trying to clone the project from GitLab I'm getting the below error:</p>
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'project Name'...
  remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
  fatal: Authentication failed for 'project GitLab URL'
  </code></pre>
  <p>We tried the below command from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44514728/http-basic-access-denied-fatal-authentication-failed/44514735">this</a> thread.</p>
  <pre><code>git config --system --unset credential.helper
  </code></pre>
  <p>After trying the above command, the Git CMD is asking to enter the username and password. We are able to enter the username but we were not able to enter the password.</p>
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'project Name'...
  Username for 'https://gitlab.com': Name
  Password for 'https://name@gitlab.com':
  remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
  fatal: Authentication failed for 'project GitLab URL'
  </code></pre>
  <p>Also, we tried to remove the GitLab entry from the control panel like <a href="https://medium.com/@saannjaay/gitlab-remote-http-basic-access-denied-and-fatal-authentication-309ec178e010" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> blog. It also not solved the issue. Why I am not able to enter the password on GitLab?</p>
