I can't get into my instance from another computer

I'm on a new machine. I've uploaded my bookmarks into the Chrome toolbar. One of them was to get into   https://developer.servicenow.com/ . I've logged into that. Another was to fire my instance: https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/instance?wu=true . From here, I click on my instance https://devXXXXX.service-now.com/ . From here I am asked for a username. I don't know this because the credentials were entered through the Chrome browser on my old machine. I've found out that I am to enter "admin" as the username here. But then I am prompted to enter an email address to verify. I entered my email address (the only one I've ever entered into anything on ServiceNow), and I am given the message Invalid response, cannot verify user (admin). Number of attempts: 1. Try again

I have no idea what to do here. Please help.

Daniel, you need to click "action" and then "reset password" from the developer page. Don't navigate to your dev instance.



I posted a screenshot very early on.

Is password reset configured on your dev instance??


Password Reset application



Please mark my response as correct and helpful if it helped solved your question.
-Thanks

I just logged out of anything I was logged into.



Then I went here: https://developer.servicenow.com/ . I was prompted to enter a Username(email) and a Password. I entered both and am now successfully logged into that site.



Then I went to https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/instance?wu=true Here, I am shown the following page:

I click on the shown URL https://devXXXXX.service-now.com/ . That takes me here:

This portion was automated on my last machine, so I only saw this screen once many months ago, and thus have no recollection as to what the password might be. So I click on "Forgot Password?", which brings me here:

I enter the same one and only email address I've ever used for anything in ServiceNow, and I am shown this screen:

I click the "Back" button in the browser, bringing me to the previous page. I then enter "admin" in the Username field. That takes me here:

In the Email field I enter the only address I've ever entered into ServiceNow and that takes me here:

My mistake. That worked. Thank you.

Hi Daniel,



As Adam has mentioned please reset your password via the developer portal. The default username will be 'admin', and please use the password you are supplied during the reset.



Regards,


Brad
