Business requirements to lock or unlock/reset the password in SAP
1) Sometimes, users forgot the userid or password and try to login with wrong credentials. After 3 or more unsuccessful attempts, user id will get locked with the message to user "user id locked due to x unsuccessful attempts.Contact system administrator".
User complains that his user id got locked and he is not able to login. So, administrator has to unlock his user id and reset the password if required. (Please follow below procedure to do the same.)
2) When Basis team is carrying out critical activities like client refresh, support pack upgrade etc, it is recommended to lock all the users (do not lock some system users which are required by administrator) to restrict them to access the system till the activity is complete. Once the activity is complete, administrator can unlock all the earlier locked users.
