Hi Naresh Mutyala,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues in accessing the sandbox.
This can happen when our automated system detects potential misuse of the platform, for example: banned code, unexpected outside the lab activities. Once banned, all Microsoft learn sandbox activations will be blocked. Use the appeal button to submit a review request. Our backend team will verify the lab activity and unblock the sandbox within 24-36 hours if the appeal is successful.
Till then once try to follow the troubleshooting steps as mentioned below for the issue:
Step 1: Sign-out from all the tabs in the current browser and clear the cache files and try login again with your learn id credentials.
Step 2: Sign-out from current browser login and try to login from an incognito window/in-private window.
Step 3: Switch to a different browser and try login again.
Step 4: Login with a new personal email account into the learn path in a completely new browser and check.
