How to unlock an Administrator account?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have installed NetWeaver 2004S Sneak Preview on Windows 2003 Server. I tried logging into the system using "Administrator" as the user name and the master password (which I have mentioned during installation) as my password. But the authentication failed and on further attempts the account got locked.

Please let me know how to unlock the adminstrator account.

Also, please let me know where this account is getting created. Thanx.

Really appreciate your help !!!

Thanx and Regardz,

Hi Jagadeesh,

Is this your windows password?

Or you are talking about SAP?

You change perameter Via Tcode RZ10 login/no_automatic_user_sapstar= 0 (Automatic user SAP* is permitted).

OR

Login SAP* Password : pass or 06071992

Or

You can delete sap*

Go to cmd prompt.

Sqlplus /nolog

conn /as sysdba

sqlplus>DELETE SAPSR3.USR02 WHERE MANDT='CLIENT.NO' and BNAME=SAP*;

Then restart the system. So, that a new user with the name "sap*" gets generated with password "pass".
