Hi,

Please check the value of UFLAG field in usr02 after you change the password and unlock user. Also let me know whether you are doing it in CUA system as at times there happens issue with Password reset due to idoc failure between Central and clild system. The possible values in UFLAG are 0,32,64,128 and 192. Check which value is there after unlock. If CUA is there then check with Basis the status of the IDoc. (02,03,31,12,51 etc) and check the CUA user is it selff unlocked or not.

Regards

Aveek.

Hi,

You are not in CUA that is fine. But did you unlock the user and reset password? After that you need to check in table usr02. Please let us know if any issue.

Try to logon in different system (Another system) .if itu2019s working then Close all the sap sessions including SAP GUI and then try with new password.

This is controlled by profile parameter login/fails_to_user_lock. If the number of Incorrect attempts (with wrong password) is equal to the value of this parameter then the user id is Locked (Lock category 128).

i have also reset his Password thru SU01 and given him the new password then also i am getting the same errror " No Logon possible - Failed due to many wrong attempts" Please suggest if i am wrong and guide me with right way.

After resetting the password the user should close his/her opened session where he/she was trying to login with incorrect password and then open new session of that system again to login with the reset password. The reason is the Old session was not populated with the reset password and new Lock status (i.e. 0 now)... to remove those values and populate the User context with new values.

Which release are you on and which type of user is this?

In earlier releases the table was buffered on the application server and possibly could have been invalidated (do a where-used-list lookup on the field and take a look at those programs do, particularly in the Z* and Y* range....). But in the latest release the buffering has been removed, so this logon / logoff and closing sessions should not be necessary in my opinion.

My guess would be that a (downward incompatible or incorrect) password is coming in from some client server component (e.g. an RFC connection). That is typically the case in my experiences.

Cheers,

Julius

I assume that your ABAP system has a basis release (SAP_BASIS) 7.x

In that case, kindly notice that the password is case-sensitive (in general).

Has the user tried to logon to the system (directly) using SAPGUI?

Or is the user some other kind of frontend technology to access the system?
