I found the solution to the problem. You have to create a Personal Access Token (PAT) in GitLab and use the token that is generated in place of the GitLab login password. I recommend the PAT route because GitLab doesn't always allow you to create project access tokens. So here are the instructions:

In GitLab, click on your user avatar then select Edit profile.
Select Access > Personal access tokens from the User settings menu.
In the Personal access tokens sections click Generate token and select Legacy token from the drop-down.
Give it a name (I just used ServiceNow) and give it these scopes:

Read API
Read Repository
Write Repository
API
Be sure and copy that token once it's generated because you won't be able to see it again. Use that generated token in place of the password

Thank you!! This worked out perfectly.

I'm glad that worked for you. Hopefully ServiceNow U will see fit to update their course accordingly. I spent a lot of time and had to get ChatGPT to help me find the solution.
