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
