Hello ServiceNow Team,

 

I am a brand-new user and just received my first Personal Developer Instance (PDI) on the Australia release. I have never logged into the system yet.

 

Right from the initial setup, I have been locked out by an "Invalid credentials" error. Additionally, all standard troubleshooting options on my Developer Portal dashboard are completely greyed out and unclickable.

 

My Instance URL / ID:  https://dev412468.service-now.com/login.do

 

Since I am a completely new user, there is absolutely no custom data or work on this instance.

 

Could an administrator please force a backend "Reset and Wipe Instance" or execute a manual "Reset Admin Password" on this specific instance? I just need a functional initial login string for this assigned server slot so I can begin my learning path.

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi @P_Shiva 

 

You can do the rest yourself as well — no admin login is required. Just log in to the developer site, and there you will get access to the required items.

Hi @P_Shiva 

 

 

  • Log into the ServiceNow Developer Portal.
  • Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Manage My Instance.
  • Locate the Action or Actions (⚙️) dropdown menu.
  • Choose Reset admin password (to get a new functional login string) or Reset and wipe instance (to restore the instance to an out-of-the-box state).
  • Wait for the provisioning email

Thank you for your response.

I already attempted those solutions, but the buttons are inactive and remains unclickable.
