Got "Incorrect or missing password" when installing this package

Problem:

forked this repo and cloned the repo.
I ran npm install
it's showing this error:

npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Incorrect or missing password.
npm ERR! If you were trying to login, change your password, create an
npm ERR! authentication token or enable two-factor authentication then
npm ERR! that means you likely typed your password in incorrectly.

You've tried to update .npmrc file?

I ran into the same issue today. I noticed that the package-lock.json file contained a lot of resolved properties that point to a private registry:

"resolved": "https://artifactory.ops.babylontech.co.uk/artifactory/api/npm/babylon-virtual-npm/<some-package>"

I just did a search & replace so that they now they say:

"resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/<some-package>"

After that npm ci is working just fine 👍
