Question: SAP message "Locked by system administrator" - what does this message mean and what do I have to do to unlock my SAP account?
Answer: Your SAP account has been locked by the system administrator because it has not been used for a long time.
Please contact the contact person of your faculty or department so that the account can be unlocked again.
Question: What does the SAP message "Name or password is incorrect" mean?
Answer: This SAP message appears if you have entered your user name (SAP user account) or password incorrectly. Check whether your user name was spelled correctly and enter the password again.
After five unsuccessful logon attempts, the SAP user account is locked by the system.
If you do not remember the password or if your SAP user account has been locked, contact your contact person as shown in the support center overview so that a new initial password can be assigned. The first time you log on, you are then immediately prompted to change your password.

Maximum length of the password: 40 characters
The password must contain at least 1 digit (0-9).
The password must contain at least 1 letter.

Answer: If you cannot log on to a system, this is because the system in question has not been activated in your user account.
