Default password "PASS" for username SAP* not accepted for new client

[Former Member]

I have created a new client, client 200 in my SAP system. I assigned it to a logical system properly and exist as one of the clients on the system together with the default clients "000", "001" and "066". The problem is that when i try connecting to this newly created client using the credentials Username: SAP*, Password: pass i get an error as follows:

name or password is incorrect (repeat logon).

I also tried the password that i use to connect to the default clients and i get the same error message. Please assist.

Hi,

Set parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar with value 0 in t-code: RZ10 then restart SAP system.

User SAP* may get locked due to incorrect login attempts. So, delete SAP* record from database level.

> sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> delete from sapsr3.usr02 where bname='SAP*' and mandt='<client number>';

it should show 1 rowe deleted..then

SQL> commit;

Now system will allow you to login with user SAP* and password 'pass'

Thanks Renu for the response. Unfortunately i can not execute transaction RZ10. When i do so, i get the error message that "Unknown error in calling profile editor". I remember i tried to create an Instance Profile following one document i pulled out from the profile before i started getting this error. How do i get around this error.

As for deleting the SAP record form the database, do the same commands apply when i am using MaxDB instead. If not, what commands do i need to run. Good day.

You can change the profile directly at OS level, just go to /usr/sap/<sid>/SYS/profile and edit the instance profile to add the parameter.

Then Save and restart.

Hi,

Please check the value of the parameter "login/no_automatic_user_sapstar" in your system. If this parameter is set to 1, than it is not possible to login with user SAP* and its default password "pass".

So please reset the value for this parameter to 0 and restart your SAP system to make this new value effective. You should be able to login after restart.

Hi Saurabh. Thanks for your response but please can you further assist and let me know in which transaction do i change the value of the parameter you specified i.e "login/no_automatic_user_sapstar".

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can check the instance profile in Tcode RZ10 for this parameter and can change the values in RZ10 only.

you can add login/no_automatic_user_sapstar parameter if it is already not there and change the value to 0 (zero). Please remember to change it back to 1 once you have finished the task and use the password 'pass'
