- If it looks correct, the next step is to confirm your email and password is correct on the SunDAT website. Go to the log in page: Log In

- Go back to the DevTools window and check for any messages that appear in the console. If you get any messages like Failed to load resource: the server responded with status of 403 (Forbidden) then there is a firewall or network restriction preventing you from accessing SunDAT. If you are using a VPN, try turning it off, to see if it works.
