Personal Account Repositories credentials not working

[therlihy]

I blundered into an old (6 years) github account and my original account password failed. I had to update to a PAC pw and it doesn't work either. How to get my login credentials corrected?

• Password reset
  -- Go to https://github.com/password_reset and request a password reset using your registered email.
  -- If it works, you’ll get a link via email to reset the password.
• Use a 2FA recovery code / alternate 2FA method
  -- If you have previously saved recovery codes, you can use one of them when prompted for the 2FA code.
  -- If you set up multiple 2FA methods (e.g. passkey, security key), try those fallback routes.
• Submit an account recovery request to GitHub Support
  -- If you cannot reset your password or use any recovery method, your only option is to open a Support / account recovery request.
  -- In that request, you should provide as much proof of ownership as possible (username, email, commit history, repository details, SSH keys, PATs, etc.).
  -- Be aware: GitHub explicitly states that if all recovery methods are lost (password + 2FA + recovery codes), they cannot restore access.
  -- However, you can request to unlink the email address from the locked account so you can use that email on a new account.

If any of these worked for you, would you mind marking my reply as the solution? That helps close out the thread. Thanks!
