Azure: Unable to start the sandbox on Azure Training - azure

I am doing the Azure fundamentals course and require the sandbox environment to do the course.
But despite refreshing the page a hundred times( following the instruction from the troubleshooting page ) I see the same error.
`Email is required to activate a sandbox
Your Microsoft account must be linked to a valid email to activate a sandbox. Go to Microsoft Account Settings to link your email and try again.`
Not sure why I am seeing this error as I am already logged in.
Any ideas that might help?

In my case the email address was verified, yet I still had the same issue.
Here is what I do to make Azure Sandbox work:
Log out from https://learn.microsoft.com
Log out from https://account.microsoft.com
Log in using email address on https://learn.microsoft.com

in my case, long ago, I created the account with an alias when I signed up for skype. Recently I added the #outlook.com email.
I fixed the issue by login using the email #outlook instead of my skype login.

I was also facing the same issue. This was working for me a few months back. Also my account alias seems to be verified since there is no "Verify" button against it on the "Manage how you sign in" page.
I had created the Microsoft account with a username and email id(alias) logging in with the email id solved this issue. This check for email id must have been added recently, because I'd run the sandbox with my username login multiple times in the past.
Hope this helps!

It seems that you haven't verified your email address linked to your MSA.
When you sign up for a Microsoft account or add an email address to your account, a request will be sent to that email for you to verify. To finish the process, just follow the verification link in the email. If you need a new verification email:
Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
A Verify button will be next to any unverified aliases.
Click Verify next to your email address, and then click Send email.
See details here.

It used to work for me too, until it didn't.
This helped: https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/questions/7694/sandbox-activation-failing-1.html
Essentially, what worked for me was to go to the Profile (click the icon at the top right of the page and click "Profile"), under "Settings", add my email address to the "Email for notifications" field.
Then make sure to log out and then back in and try again.

Navigate to Profile
Click Settings
locate "Manage your email preferences", enter your email address and press save.
Retry and it should work. At least it did for me

I had this same issue when working on some Azure training courses.
When I try to activate the sandbox, I get the error:
Email is required to activate a sandbox or lab
Your Microsoft account must be linked to a valid email to activate a sandbox or lab. Go to Microsoft Account Settings to link your email and try again.
For more information, please check the troubleshooting guidance page.
Here's how I solved it:
The problem was that I was logging in with my username instead of my full email.
So instead of my-username#outlook.com, I was using the username my-username.
All I had to do was to log out from https://learn.microsoft.com and https://account.microsoft.com
Afterwhich, I logged in to https://learn.microsoft.com/ with my email which is my-username#outlook.com
This time everything worked fine.
That's all.
I hope this helps

Just Sign out yourself, and Sign in using your email address. it will solve the issue.

Make sure you have linked your outlook email.
If its already linked then log out from MS Learn and try login again.
Here: https://learn.microsoft.com/
It worked for me.

I just ran into this problem.
I had added an outlook.com email alias to my account and set it as the primary.
No matter how I logged in, be it the new outlook.com address or my original hotmail.com address, I would get that error.
Setting my original hotmail.

GitLab account blocked while changing the username. How do I unblock it?

I wanted to change my username on GitLab so I followed the following procedure:
Navigate to your profile's Settings > Account.
Enter a new username under Change username.
Click Update username.
After clicking on update nothing seem to change so I refreshed the page and I receive the following error:
Your account has been blocked. Please contact your GitLab administrator if you think this is an error.
How do I unblock my account?
PS: I opened a GitLab SaaS account
This thread mentions
Check <external_url>/admin/application_settings/general > expand Sign-up Restrictions, and verify if the checkbox for Send confirmation email on sign-up is checked or unchecked?
Having that setting enabled will send a confirmation email, and for that user to be “unlocked”, it requires the confirmation link in the confirmation email is clicked.
If you’re creating a user with Ansible and the confirmation email isn’t received and the link it contains clicked, it would cause the “user is blocked” error you’re seeing.
If you did not check the box for this requirement, I suspect the default setting might’ve changed in 12.9.x. Do you notice if this checkbox was checked before upgrading?
Unchecking the box, or manually “confirming” the email of your Ansible-created user in the GitLab Admin UI should remove the block on this user.
In your case, since you are changing the user manually, see if:
the IP is blocked (try from another network/device)
if you have an IDE opened with a GitLab repository accessed through HTTPS: the IDE might need to refresh the Git repository state periodically, and would be using the old credentials (old username).
The OP goutam thakur confirms in the comments:
My account was unblocked after I submitted a request through the form "Gitlab.com (SaaS) user accounts and login issues".

Cannot reset the work account's password because "password reset isn't properly set up for your organization."

I'm in a bind with Azure login account. I've forgotten my password for my account that I use for a client's DevOps. It wasn't until I ended up created another account today to troubleshoot the problem that I might understand the issue, but still can't fix it.
About a year ago, my client added me as a Guest in their Active Directory. I did not have an active directory myself. I got the notice from Microsoft in an invite email to get started, which created an account to get access to their Azure Portal and DevOps. I've been logged in for a year, but was trying test a feature which required me to login to DevOps during the process. I tried what I thought was my password, but that didn't work. No problem, I'll just click on the reset password feature. That ended up informing me that "password reset isn't properly set up for your organization." Knowing who setup my account up, I ask them to reset my password. The response was we do not have control to reset your password because you're a guest.
Through several discussions, and seeing what was available to them, and how a Guest was set up, it was suggested to setup an account within Microsoft for the email. I did that, and when I went back to try and login to their portal, I was presented with two options after I entered my email address. There was a work account and a personal account. Both with the same email address. The work account indicated it was created by "your IT department". Which we did not create this, it was a result of the client adding us as a guest, then finishing the process to gain access. So I can only assume, either an active directory was created for my domain, or I was added to a generic active directory.
In either case, I still can't change the password for the work account, and researching has not helped, as it keeps resetting my personal account.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Here is what I'm currently seeing.
Thank you,
Marc
You don't have an AAD tenant. So I assume that your account is an Microsoft personal account.
Although you are added as the guest user in your client's tenant, the password management is not handled by that tenant. It is still handled by Microsoft personal account.
You can reset your password here: click on Sign In, enter your account and click on Forgot password?.

Docusign promote integrator key from demo to live

I am currently trying to promote an integrator key from the demo environment to a live environment. I have read all of the documentation regarding this process and have had no issues up until this point. Currently, I have an integrator key in my demo environment which has passed review and I am trying to promote this key to my live environment. To do so, I am logging into my demo environment, selecting new admin experience, selecting APIs and Keys, selecting the "Actions" dropdown next to my key which has passed review, and then selecting "go live". After doing this, a terms and conditions popup comes up which I accept and then I am redirected to a login page. I understand from the documentation that my live environment login credentials are used here however I am unable to log in. I can use the same login credentials at na2.docusign.net/Member/MemberLogin.aspx and I am logged into my live admin account error just fine. I have also tried using the forgot password link on this popup in which I am successfully able to reset my password via a secret question. I then go back through the same process to get to the login popup after selecting my key to go live and again, I am unable to login. How can I overcome this as it is a time sensitive issue? I have also sent an e-mail, per the documentation, to go-live#docusign.com outlining this issue and have not yet received a response.
Note that my live account is a member of the administrator group. Are there other permissions that need to be set up that may be preventing me from completing this?
Please resend your email to go-live#docusign.com
Please include the integration key, the account id for your demo account, and the account id for your production na2.docusign.net account.
Your account ids are shown in the drop-down by your name in the web tool's upper right hand corner, by your picture or glyph.
Please accept my apologies for these problems with the new Go-Live system.
There was an issue with the DocuSign go live process. It has now been resolved. Please try again.

Kentico Client Portal

I cannot sign in to Kentico client portal, keep seeing that username and password is not correct, when trying the forgotten password link it prompts me
no user found
"when trying to sign-up with same email address it prompts me
email already exist
It seems my account has been disabled ,but how can I enable it back ?
I've had this in the past when I first partnered with Kentico. Finally after several years I was tired of it and got it worked out by contacting Support at Kentico.com. They were able to direct me to the person who handles the different portals and was able to clean them up. Be sure to give them all the email addresses you are using.

How to add E-Mail address for system account in SharePoint

I am working with workflows and trying to send e-mails.
On the workflow page I got an error message:
The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
User is system account. So I think that I need to set e-mail address of system account.
Does any one know how to set e-mail address for system account ?
Does any one have a better idea to solve this problem?
There are two possibilities to add an email in system account.
If you are usin gactive directory user to login in sharepoint as system account then you have to mention his/her email address in the Active directory.
If you are using local user as a system account then follow this steps.
Click on drop down of System Account -> Click on My Settings -> Click on Edit Item and Update it with valid email address.
Let me know the result.
Thanks
try this
In your server move to the following location
Start --> Administrative Tools --> Active Directory Users and Computers
There you can find the list of users. You can also find the administrator there.
Now right click the administrator and choose properties and ad your email
