This is what happened when I changed my password for Git Repository ( with Visual Studio Tools for Git http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/abafc7d6-dcaa-40f4-8a5e-d6724bdb980c )

Solution :

1. Close all Visual Studio instances


2. Go to Control Panel > Credential Manager


3. Delete the entries related to your repository.(Link )


4. Now whenever you will try to connect to server using Visual studio , it will ask for credentials and recreate these entries in Credential manager.
