i changed my password but it doesn't work again,i uninstalled VS and installed it again but the error was there,i
removed server and tried to add it again but now when i'm trying to add it before it comes to log in page it shows this error again,i turned my firewall and anti-virus off and tried again but nothing changes so i turned them on but nothing changes.i removed
server from my windows credential but again nothing changed same error.

Hi Aynur,
Please follow these options:
1. Try connecting to your Team Project using browser, if you are able to connect then its not permission issue at TFS side. if not then check with your TFS Admin for permissions.
2. Try Devenv /ResetSettings and devenv.exe /resetuserdata and check if you are able to connect.
3. Try this...
go to control panel > User Accounts > Manage Your Network Passwords select the Team foundation Server and choose remove. Next time you go into Team Explorer you will be prompted for a new set of credentials. OR
Go to Control Panel
Click User Accounts ( or User Accounts and Family Safety->User Accounts in Windows 7 Machine)
Click Credential Manager (or Manage your credentials)
In Credential Manager page, you can see the two type of credentials
          i. Windows Credentials
          ii. Generic Credentials
Click on two credential's modify link,  click the link Remove from vault to remove stored TFS credentials.
Now, When you login into Visual Studio you will be asked to give credentials to connect TFS.
Note: Don't forgot to uncheck the option Remember my credentials to force to ask credentials for every TFS connections.
Kindly let me know once the issues is resolved.
