Hi Rajesh  
Hope, you have successfully created the account Login.salesforce.com.
Step 1 : Logged in Dev account  (https://login.salesforce.com/).
Step2: Open the trailhead link in other tab (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/)
Step3 : Click on login button on trailhead then its automatically redirect to you logged salesforce account. Don't need to enter the password again when logged in trailhead.

Hey Tanu,

Thankyou for the reply.

i was not clear in explaining the issue . When i tried to create a new user in my salesforce org as apart of that trail head challenge with that name i got that error.

Error: Duplicate Username sthripio@jedeye-tech.com.

I rechecked the challenge and it says create an user account so I created a diffenrent user account (with a different username) and completed the challenge.
Thankn you for the help.

Hi Rajesh, 
I have the same problem as you but could not (yet) solve it.
Hopefully, we will find a way through... ;-)

This issue still exists: Error: Duplicate Username. 
The username already exists in this or another Salesforce organization. Usernames must be unique across all Salesforce organizations. To resolve, use a different username (it doesn't need to match the user's email address).

Same deal here.

It's not really the check your work test so I ended up skipping it. But if you follow along with the instructions you cannot make the same "new user" and it also doesn't list which role to pick for them.

Just fudge the username, pick a random role and finish the walkthrough. The real challenge is at the bottom.

Cheers.

I found a workaround.. Do give it a try if it works for now (not sure the reason behind it though)

Keep the email id in the fields "Email" and "Username" same.. but add some junk letter at the end of the username
Eg.:
Email:  Test@test.com
Username: Test@test.com2
