Hi,

Actually to unlock a user is the Sys Admin/Basis Admin's job.

For this the tcode SU01 is used. Put the users name in the concerned field an click the icon symbolised as a lock to unlock.

Else u can unlock it from the SQL prompt if u have access to same.

The following is used:

sql> sqlplus /nolog;

sql>conn /as sysdba;

sql> update sap<instancename>.user02 set bflag = '0' where bname = 'your username' and mandt = 'the client no';

sql>commit;

This will unlock the user.

Pl donot forget to award a point if useful.

Send an email to the security/admin or Basis folks. If you are locked out you cannot get in, then no matter what access u have , you cannot unlock yourself now right?

You do not have to keep complex passwords. SAP password usually do not require any numerics and and usually are not case sensitive.

unlocking and be really time consuming if you have a very conservative security person.
