error message "Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts

[Former Member]

Hello friends

I have copied a client from an existing client and followed the transaction codes

SCC4

SCCL

RZ10

and everything worked well.

As I have done this before several times, I should be able to logon as 'sap*' with a password 'pass'. However, by accident i have mistyped it few times and am now

not able to log on at all. When I try to log on as 'sap*' with a password 'pass', i keep

getting an error message "Password logon no longer possible - too many failed attempts".

Since this is the only way I can logon for the first time and has to create subsequent users, I am kind of stuck.

J2EE_ADMIN etc., wont work at this stage, since this is a new client just copied.

Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Ram,

Since you have copied from some existing client then you can use same ID on the new client.

Asuming that you have copied the user data and you know the password.

Logon to the database from OS level follow the steps:

1) Login as user <b>system</b>

2) In the SQL prompt, use the following statement

DELETE from SAPR3.USR02 where mandt='000'

and bname = 'SAP*'.

Now you can login using SAPGUI as user SAP* and password pass.
