Hi Fareez, Are you able to provide us with the name of the lab that you are experiencing issues with so that we can take a look for you?

sorry for the late reply. Lab: Stored XSS into HTML context with nothing encoded. the script triggered alert 1. but the lab is not solved.

Hi Fareez, Just to clarify, are you entering the alert(1) script into the comment section of the lab as detailed in the community video (by Michael Sommer) that is shown under the solution section of the lab? I have just attempted this and the lab solves successfully for me (whilst using Firefox, Version 90.0.2).
