Pushing to GitHub 403 error permission denied

Trying to push a file and getting this error:

remote: Permission to AndrewPreciado/CS6432016.git denied to Adrew64.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AndrewPreciado/CS6432016.git/':
The requested URL returned error: 403

Adrew64 refers to my an old github account username I used back in the day, but I want to use this new account with AndrewPreciado.

Anything I can do? Thanks

Alternative way to delete the stored credetials for old user is

git credential-osxkeychain erase

then on the next line type these

 host=github.com
 protocol=https
<press return or enter key>

then try pushing the code again it will ask you for credentials username & password and then this should work

Your computer has saved local credentials

Follow the following steps on windows: open control panel -> user accounts -> manage your credentials -> window credentials -> delete git account credentials

It will work fine then.
