How to resolve err code 403 Forbidden in npm install? - npm

I'm trying to run npm install in a public repository. I’ve cloned it to my PC but it throws me this error.
I’ve tried verifying my npm account, and disabling my security/firewalls.
I dont know how to solve it!
$ npm install
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 403 Forbidden - GET <url>
npm ERR! 403 In most cases, you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! 403 a package version that is forbidden by your security policy, or
npm ERR! 403 on a server you do not have access to.
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\...

Nothing to worry about.
Probably, there is a security policy for different libraries (in case it is corporate project).
In this case you need to investigate your issue to someone in your company.
Another case can be with package-lock.json
Just open lock file and try to find something similar to received URL.
Try to delete lock file and after that run npm install

I had a similar error and here is what helped me:
npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
It sets the npm registry to default. More info here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/registry
Run this to check your current registry value:
npm config list
If a change of the registry doesn't help, you can check what npm username is in use by running:
npm whoami
If it is not the one that has related permissions for the package to be installed then log in with related credentials by running:
npm login

I try these steps,
npm init
npm login
npm publish
I have npm account and I logged into it before published the package
demo-package is a package that already exists on npmjs here. If you are not the user that initially published this package 8 years ago or the user enabled you as a coauthor, you are not allowed to write to it since you are not the owner.
Be aware that npm Packages can not be removed once published on npmjs. There is a very short window to unpublish it. After that, it's not deletable.
If you want to test publishing packages you can try local registries like Verdaccio.

Issue with Publishing NPM Package (org.couchdb.user:USERNAME' is not in the npm registry)

Issue:
I'm trying to publish my npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-ultimate-modal-picker and it's coming up with the error. It's been 9 months since I last have made a publish and I just updated a ton of code and files. I also set the publishing from NPM to GitHub, but I think I reverted those changes?
Question:
Why am I getting the errors below?
How can I make sure that the npm package is published to https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-ultimate-modal-picker?
Errors:
org.couchdb.user:jefelewis' is not in the npm registry.
This package name is not valid, because
npm ERR! 404 1. name can only contain URL-friendly characters
npm ERR! code ENEEDAUTH
npm ERR! need auth This command requires you to be logged in.
npm ERR! need auth You need to authorize this machine using `npm adduser`
Process:
npm login
Enter login info (Username: jefelewis)
org.couchdb.user:jefelewis is not in the npm registry.
The issue is that my username is jefelewis (https://www.npmjs.com/~jefelewis)
Update:
This was fixed by using npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ in the terminal

install #sencha/ext-react-modern for free trial of ExtReact failed

After requesting for the free trial version of ExtReact at https://www.sencha.com/products/extreact/evaluate/ an email providing a username and password was sent to my inbox.
Next, I opened my command line interface and tried to log in via command:

After inputting my username and password provided from the email. The output logged was this:
Logged in as username..gmail.com to scope #sencha on https://npm.sencha.com/.
Next I ran this npm command to install #sencha/ext-react-modern
npm install #sencha/ext-react-modern
Every time I try to npm install an error is thrown on the cmd line display:

We have the same error (E404). The root cause turned out, is because we have multiple registry sources. One is our own registry and the other is public registry (registry.npmjs.org)
To resolve this, we added both registries in the .npmrc file (can be in either user's .npmrc or the project .npmrc).
We append the following lines in the .npmrc file.
#contosoPrivateFeed:registry=https://contoso.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/Contoso.Feed/npm/registry/
registry=https://registry.npmjs.org
Also worth to mention, we don't have Upstream setup in our Azure DevOps feed.
Specifying multiple registries allow npm commands to use the registries. Thus, no need to setup Upstream sources.
After some tests, we think your issue may be related to the UpStream source in Azure devops feed settings.
Here's some info when I do the test:
nest is package from default npm packages. When i deleted the npm upstream source, I got the same error when running command npm install nest. After that I added the NPM public source(npmjs) as one upstream sources in feed settings, then it worked when I ran the command the second time.
So you need to add npmjs as Upstream source of your current feed. Hope it helps :)

npm install fails with 'error-ex#^1.3.1' is not in the npm registry

npm install fails with the following error:

Well I don't know how to add this additional info, since I can't comment due to not having 50 reputation and my edit to the question with this details was rejected by the community with the message

Visting https://registry.npmjs.org/error-ex & https://registry.npmjs.com/error-ex gives a cloudflare 404 error page.
Visiting the npm registry mirror at https://skimdb.npmjs.com/error-ex gives a json response but since the tarball links are from https://registry.npmjs.org/ npm install after setting the registry to the mirror fails with a cloudflare 404 for the url https://registry.npmjs.org/error-ex/-/error-ex-1.3.2.tgz
Tried with a couple of internet connections since the problem seems to be something with cloudflare. One of the internet connections I tried gave me the proper json response when tried via browser and wget. But still npm install failed.
Finally got it working by manually downloading the above tarball with the internet connection that gave me the proper result and then adding it to the npm cache by
npm cache add <link_to_the_tarball>
Note: Though this fixed this specific issue. There were other packages with the same issue. So, finally I ended up installing npm_lazy(http://mixu.net/npm_lazy/) to use as my repository. Manually added the failing item like error-ex to the npm_lazy cache by editing the json file.
