how to unlock the administrator in VA?

[Former Member]

I am a beginner of SAP,

in the VA of WAS,I changed the password of the user "administrator",

but I didnt create any beckup user.

now the administrator was locked because someone try to loggon with former password.

but I cant loggon too.

how can I unlock this user without any other user who can loggon?

thankyou very much!

Go to config.bat

1. Start configtool .Select Configuration Editor. switch to Edit Mode

2. set the following properties: [Instance_ID<ID> -> Server_ID<ID> -> services -> com.sap.security.core.ume.service]

a. ume.superadmin.activated - true

b. ume.superadmin.password - <password> [set the password->click set button->

it will again ask by open popup window type the same and it will say restart to reflects]

3. Restart Java Application server

Unlocking Administrator

1. Create a new connection, to Login with SAP* as user and the given password

2. Unlock all administrator users:[reset the administrator password]

a. User Management tab

b. Unlock the user Administrator and provide a new password

c. You can also create another administrator (say superadmin) in case you want to avoid doing all this the next time.

=> (Very important)Deactivating SAP* (emergency user) by setting ume.superadmin.activated - false in configtool

[This is required because all other users are deactivated when the SAP* user is active]

=>Restart the java Application server->login with aministrator
