Please take a look at the following How-to's.

The 'requests' section of this how-to demonstrates downloading granules with requests: https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/information/howto?keywords=requests&title=How%20to%20Access%20GES%20DISC%20Data%20Using%20Python

However, the 401 error is most likely caused by missing credential files inside the Colab environment. There is a Python code in this how-to that generates those as well: https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/information/howto?title=How%20to%20Generate%20Earthdata%20Prerequisite%20Files

Hope this helps.
