Hi already used smartGit Hg a couple of months. I have already account in bitbucket which I used already couple months already also. When I created another account in bitbucket then cloned the current repository to the smartGit. When I tried to commit and pushed (ofcourse it will ask for password), it says "Authentication Failed". Please help...THanks in advance..

SmartGit probably remember a wrong account credentials to authenticate you on BitBucket. Goto Edit menu -> Preferences -> Authentication and remove credentials for the repository that fails. Then next time you push SmartGit will ask you for both login and password.
