Where can I get or change the passphrase?

Good evening. Don't get mad, I just started to deal with the git. I want to upload a local repository to github. After the command git push -u origin master, I get the following message
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/HP/.ssh/id_rsa':
The problem is that I don't know this password.
Permission denied (public key).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
Where can I get this passphrase, and what is it?

This is a passphrase :) I mean the password. The password is set when generating the SSH key and may well be empty. It is usually set to protect the key in case it (the key) is stolen. It is not always asked, for bots it is usually not asked at all.

And you don’t steal other people’s keys, then you won’t have to select a passphrase for them.
