I just setup a gitweb server on a centos 7 machine, but when I'm trying to clone, he ask me a password ? How can I change the password on the server, because I never set one... 

$ git clone git@xxx.xxx.x.xx:gitolite-admin.git

  Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
  git@xxx.xxx.x.xx's password: 
  Permission denied, please try again.

Edit

I force change the git user password on the serveur and it's ok now.

But I got this : 

fatal: 'testing.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

But if i go on the url (http://xxx.xxx.x.xx/gitweb/) he see them all :

    Seems like you are trying to connect to your git-repo with ssh. Does a user named 'git' exists on your server? If so, try to use the password of the user git – Kris Apr 11 '17 at 09:07
  • Did you configure the required SSH keys? – Nils Werner Apr 11 '17 at 09:22
  • Did you initialised the repo with --bare ? – Kris Apr 11 '17 at 09:29
  • Yep, re-edit : I can access to him if i clone with this url : git clone git@xxx.xxx.x.xx:repositorie/gitolite-admin.git But in my gitolite-suexec-wrapper.sh, the GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is set tom /home/git/repositories so why do I have to specify the folder ? I will try to change the http home. – Neok Apr 11 '17 at 09:34
  • Did changing the GIT_PROJECT_ROOT to the folder of your repo worked? – Kris Apr 11 '17 at 09:41
  • Unfortunately no, I still have to specify... – Neok Apr 11 '17 at 09:52
  • Are you building the CGI Script yourself? According to the docs: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-GitWeb you always have to spefify the root-folder of your project... – Kris Apr 11 '17 at 09:58

According to what you wrote in command line:

I can suggest that you are trying to connect to user called git which have password set-up at the beginning stage.

Your connection is through ssd; can you try to connect over ssh-dss and update us.

Also consider having look on this website as it might be helpful: [gitweb-simple-usage-on-centos-7][1]http://frederic-wou.net/gitweb-simple-usage-on-centos-7-2/
