- 13. Common Questions Question: I know I’m doing the challenge right, but it’s failing Answer: There’s an evil wizard hiding in your org. Either that or it’s probably some configuration or customization in your Developer Edition that’s interfering The best way to test this is to simply create a new DE org and redo the challenge. Either that or evict the wizard. Best Practice Tip Get two DE orgs – one for playing and experimenting, and another just for Trailhead challenges.
- 14. Common Questions Question: I lost all my badges and points Answer: The badge monster ate them. Either that, or check that you’re logging in at (1) with the same username. You might have accidentally logged in with a different username. Best Practice Tip Logout when you’re done each day.

- 16. Common Questions Question: It says my username is taken Answer: When your username is Taken, call Liam Neeson. He has a particular set of skills to help you solve this issue. Alternatively, pick a unique username. Usernames need to be unique across ALL orgs in Salesforce, even your production org(s). Your username doesn’t have to be a real email address. It just has to look like one. Your email, on the other hand, has to be real, so you can get the activation email. Gotta be a real email that you can access right away Must be unique across all Salesforce & look like an email
- 17. Common Questions Question: I’m having trouble getting logged in to do challenges Answer: I don’t have a joke about this. Make sure you’re logging in at (2) with a Developer Edition org. You can’t do the hands-on challenges with a production or sandbox org.
