Error during cloning project and can't unset credentials

Question

I found the solution for problem when I tried cloning my project its shows wrong user/password, but upon trying to unset credentials using command:

git config --system --unset credential.helper

the error exist as:

Could not lock config file C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/etc/gitconfig:Permission denied
Could not lock config file C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/etc/gitconfig:Invalid argument

Something may have a lock on the `gitconfig` file. Have you tried restarting the bash to see if that fixes it? — Tim Biegeleisen, Jul 06 '16 at 06:53

Similar to this comment ,try and restart "C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe" as administrator.

That should allow you to modify the system git config file.
