Difference between PDI Instance admin account and local admin account in PDI

[JMoxy]

When I load my PDI I go to https://developer.servicenow.com,

and log in to my account.  If I look at "Manage Instance Password" under My Account, I see that there is an admin account with a password.  When I click on Start Building, sometimes I get a login for ServiceNow and I use the Instance admin account and password.

After launching my Instance, I am logged in under the admin account.  I look at sys_user table and I see the admin account.

Are these 2 accounts the same ?  If I go to https://developer.servicenow.com/login.do

 can I login to the admin account from here ?  Is the admin password the same as the once shown under Manage Instance Password ?

Thanks in advance - just trying to understand these admin accounts

Hi @JMoxy ,

 yep, same account. have also noticed, that sometimes when “start building” is selected if comes up with login with user name and password and some time it doesn’t… nothing the less, you will have the same access right.
