New Dev Instance - Admin login no longer working

[Beth2]

I requested a new PDI yesterday (dev281093).  I logged in using the admin credentials with no issue.  I had to do some research to remind myself how to get to the glide records.  I went back to the dev instance and within minutes, I was logged out.  I now can not log in to the instance.  The instance must still exist, because I can get to the login screen, but the supplied admin password doesnt work (error:  Username or password invalid).

When I log into the developer website, it is showing me a button to get a new instance.

Where did yesterdays instance go, or what happened to the admin password?

Hi @Beth2 ,

No one can tell that what happened to that PDI and unfortunately no support is provided by servicenow for PDI. so now you have 2 options - Try to reset admin password from developer site or get a fresh instance.

I am also facing same issue and despite following above steps, I am unable to login to my PDI.  This has happened twice in last 10 days.  I have released the instance and taken the new one, but the new instance is also having the same issue.

@Beth2 I dn't belive there is any support for PDIs and for some reason your instance is reclaimed.

For future refer below link to backup your PDI:
