[SalesForce] Authorize Org failed in VS Code

I am new in learning lightning web component. I have installed VS Code, salesforce extension pack inside VS code, Salesforce CLI and set environment variable C:\Program Files\Salesforce CLI in my system.

When i am trying to create a new project in VS Code, i am not able to authorize org. I am getting the below error.

Starting SFDX: Authorize an Org

23:45:43.364 sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias vscodeOrg --instanceurl https://login.salesforce.com --setdefaultusername
ERROR running force:auth:web:login:  Cannot start the OAuth redirect server on port PortInUseAction. 

Try this: 
Kill the process running on port 1717 or use a custom connected app and update OauthLocalPort in the sfdx-project.json file.
23:45:46.30 sfdx force:auth:web:login --setalias vscodeOrg --instanceurl https://login.salesforce.com --setdefaultusername ended with exit code 1

Please help me out…Thanks

The following solution worked for me

  1. Run command prompt 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧 (𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 > 𝘤𝘮𝘥 > 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵-𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 > 𝘙𝘶𝘯𝘈𝘴 𝘈𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘯)
  2. Run the command: 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭 -𝐚𝐨𝐧
  3. CTRL+F, to search for 𝟏𝟕𝟏𝟕
  4. Note the number displayed in the 𝐏𝐈𝐃 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧 in the same row where 1717 was found. In my case, it's 𝟒𝟔𝟒𝟖
  5. Open Task Manager > Click on Details Tab > Sort by PID
  6. Locate the number from step 4 (in my case 𝟒𝟔𝟒𝟖)
  7. Right-Click > End Task
  8. Go back to VS Code and run the command again "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘍𝘋𝘟: 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘨"

Hope it helps :)
