I recently changed my password corresponding to my username for my proxy. Hence I updated the apt.conf and /etc/environment files with my new password. However when I type
echo $http_proxy or
env which prints all the environment variables, it displays the value with old password. Similarly for socks_proxy, all_proxy.
Any solutions?

You can change the http/https/ftp proxy environmental variables using the following commands:
export http_proxy=' export https_proxy=' export ftp_proxy=' as a one-liner:
export {http,https,ftp}_proxy=' These will not persist however, so you may wish to add it to your bashrc.
Changes to /etc/environment requires a restart to take effect. First restart your computer and see if your still facing the same problem.
If the problem still exists, open your ~/.bashrc file and add the proxy entry in this file.
For this to take effect, you have to either restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc
