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 (donot 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.

Where as all other user's are getting locked after maximum 6 attempts of wrong password logon
Even tried to lock it using T-CODE SU01 it gives no such user (sap*) That I can understand it must not have it's entry in User Master Data Record its at Data base level
I am using SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 IDES for learning and training purpose I m not expert user but learning BASIS
All the related parameters are as below
1. login/fails_to_user_lock = 6 (max is 99 wrong attempts). Currently have a value of 6.
2. login/failed_user_auto_unlock (for your midnight unlocking). it is set Not to unlock after Mid Night
3. login/no_automatic_user_sapstar Value is set to 0
Plz if you can let me know what are the other possible settings might be affecting it to get locked
