I changed the system password recently. Whenever I am trying to do a git pull or a vpn connection, I am asked for the "previous" Ubuntu password. May I know why this is happening?

Most likely you created a new user and the new user is not an administrator.
Go to Settings -> Users and give your user this privilege.
Maybe your Home directory is still owned by another user.
Run
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/
Be careful, don't skip ~
.
git pull
shouldn't ask a password.sudo
password. By login, I meant the password I use to login to Ubuntu. This is a personal laptop and there is only one account.
