Unable to follow instructions in Power BI Lab - no account details available

The Lab requires me to log-in, within the VM, to Power BI service. The instructions are:

---

 

  • To open Microsoft Edge, on the taskbar, click the Microsoft Edge program shortcut.

     

  • In the Microsoft Edge browser window, navigate to https://powerbi.microsoft.com.

    Tip: You can also use the Power BI Service favourite on the Microsoft Edge favourites bar.

  • Click Sign In (located at the top-right corner).

     

  • Enter the account details provided to you (check out the Resources).

  • If prompted to update the password, renter the provided password, and then enter and confirm a new password.

    Important: Be sure to record your new password.

  • Complete the sign in process.

I cannot find the "account details provided to you" -- there are none in the Resources that you download in the previous step, as always.

When I log into my work account, or my personal one (both inside the VM), and I try to continue with the steps which instruct me to configure settings within the 'Admin Portal', the options are not available.

Therefore, I cannot proceed with this lab (or following ones, where there are similar issues).

Note that I am doing the learning path by myself, without an instructor. I'm a doing this for my own benefit.

Learning Path -> Visualize data in Power BI

Module -> Create dashboards in Power BI

Chapter -> Lab - Create a Power BI dashboard.

 

Concrete question: Where do I get the resources to log-in, such that I can configure Power BI appropriately?

 

Thanks for the help, and kind regards

 

John

 

  • In other labs in MS Learn the credentials you need are displayed in the right-hand pane of the lab. Why they aren't for this one I don't know. I have reported as well and also raised with Microsoft and am trying to find the person responsible.
    The response by Skillable is unfortunate
