I am trying to work on the practice lab session provided by learn.microsoft.com.
In this Lab guide, the 1st step is described as follows:
Open Power BI Desktop.
*Tip: By default, the Getting Started dialog box opens in front of Power BI Desktop. You can choose to sign-in, and then close the pop-up.
*
I would like to know the credentials to complete sign-in step mentioned above.
Can you please mention the Learn Path/Module that you are facing this issue in?
Sure, please find the requested details below.
Learning Path: PL-300-Microsoft-Power-BI-Data-Analyst
Module Name: Get Data in Power BI Desktop/Get started with Power BI Desktop
Thank you for providing us with the information. To help us understand the issue better can you give the following:
Can you please provide the URL of the lab guide that you have mentioned?
And can you please post a screenshot of the error (Please conceal all PII)?

Please find the URL of the lab guide
https://microsoftlearning.github.io/PL-300-Microsoft-Power-BI-Data-Analyst/Instructions/Labs/01-prepare-data-with-power-query-in-power-bi-desktop.html
I want to know the credentials to sign-in in as mentioned in this above step.
We suggest you to follow these steps:
We were able to successfully launch the lab and complete it.
Please reach out to us here if you have any more queries.
Kindly 'Accept Answer' if you have found this helpful.
Hi,
I already tried this yesterday. But there also after launching Lab, I need to complete this sign-in process to proceed further with next steps in Lab.
We have finished the exercise successfully following the instructions. We didn't need to sign-in to start the exercise.
Please open the Power BI Desktop and if this pop-up is seen just close it and proceed with the exercise.
Hope this helps.
But when I try to proceed with next step, i.e. to open the Sales Analysis.pbix file it is asking to sign-in to open this .pbix file. Please find error screenshots below for your reference.
Thanks for your time.
Hari Prasad Balija, please sign-up with your organizational mail id.
Microsoft does not provide any credentials for the sign-up.
Please tell us if you are able to access it successfully.
Hi @RNareddy , I tried with my organizational mail id but my organization policy is not allowing me to use it and proceed further. So only I have been not sure how to proceed further from this step.
Hari Prasad Balija, the Microsoft LP does not provide any credentials as such. We were able to log in and complete the exercise using our organizational as well as personal credentials. Have you tried using other personal credentials?
Hi @RNareddy Yes, I have already tried using personal credentials but it is not allowing me to sign-in with personal credentials.
Can you please reach out to your IT admin and request for access to Power BI.
Even if you have a Outlook account you will require a Microsoft subscription to access it.
Hope this helps you.
Hi @RNareddy I have reached out to my IT admin and they have provided access to Power BI, I am able to login to Power BI on my local machine but not able to login to Power BI on hosted lab environment.
We are able to complete the exercise with our organizational id. Please reach out to your IT admin.
