Then, to solve this error:
Contact O'Reilly directly to have them reset your account from trial to Northeastern institutional access. You may cut and paste the following sample note, filling in your own information as appropriate:
Hello,
I'm a current student (or staff/faculty) at Northeastern University, which has an institutional subscription to O’Reilly, but I am currently locked out of my account.
My email address is _______@northeastern.edu (or ______@nchlondon.ac.uk)
Could you check if my account is incorrectly registered and adjust it as needed?
Thanks,
Your name
