How can I disable SSH

Question

I hate to ask this, because it's a fail.  But I have several small projects in BitBucket/Sourcetree now and ever since I started trying to use SSH it's all a fail.  I need to take the time to set it up right.  But right now, I just want to do what I need to do to go forward with my projects.  I hope there is a solution.

I keep trying to disable SSH and go back to HTTPS.  Just for awhile, until I have time to get SSH working for me.  What do I need to do?  I just created a new project in BitBucket and when I tried to clone it, once again "Authentication via SSH keys failed".

I will cancel this question.  I believe I have SSH working, and found a workaround.  In Bitbucket, I was selecting to clone using HTTPS, I thought, but it was using SSH.  My mistake, somehow, I'm sure.  In the end I did the CLONE from SourceTree instead and it worked.  This I did after going through the SSH setup instructions and verifying that I did indeed have my SSH keys installed and configured correctly.

So in summary, my workaround was:  create a new Repository in BitBucket.  Select the CLONE button and select SSH, and then copy the URL.  Open SourceTree and select the "CLONE/NEW" button.  Use the "Clone Repository" tab and paste the Bitbucket URL.  After that I dropped my source code in the new folder created by SourceTree.  The file appeared on SourceTree.  I committed it and it uploaded to Bitbucket okay.
