Though user doesnot exist in system, showing as user locked with too many failed attempts

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are facing situation where the GUI user does not exist in system but getting error as user locked due to too many failed attempts.

This might be due to some one tried to login to system with that user as they have same user in other systems.

But when I created same user in system and provided initial password, still I am not able to login to system getting same error as user locked due to many failed attempts. 

Please suggest how could resolve this issue. What could be the reson for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Shiva

Hi Shivanand,

kindly check the spelling of the user.

Hi Shivanand,

Check in database with a query at the table usr02 from the schema of SAP, select the fields USTYP, and UFLAG to see if the user is locked, in the query search by the field BNAME like '%USERNAME%'

Hello ,

Seems you have this user under any of the RFC which tires to login into your system.

Check the change documents for this user from SUIM and also check the audilt logs for this user from SM20.

Hi Shivanand,

May be in your landscape there are some jobs running with this user or some RFC connection using this user to login.

Hi Shivanand,

Please check in table USR02 whether user exists as background or service or communication type.

Secondly check whether any RFC destination has that user maintained. You may need to change the same to avoid these errors.

Hope this helps.
