Hi,

Is there a way that we can unlock a SAP user (GUI) via Operating System Level? If it has, kindly give to me the step by step procedure. We only have one username for that system.

Pls. help me to fix this issue.

Regards,

That sounds strange!

And you are the owner of said system and can get to it at OS level?

What is the server OS?

Is this username by any change SAP*?

BTW: If you mean workstation OS the answer is no. The lock is in the appliaction at server level. You'd require seriuos hacking or the system must be set up to automatically unlock all users at midnight if the lock occurred by logon failures.

Well, you can call BAPI_USER_UNLOCK using an external RFC client (e.g. startrfc.exe). However, you need to provide credentials of an user which is authorized to perform such (user) administrative tasks, of course.
