Diagnosis
One or more failed attempts made to log on to the system with a password and your user name. Failed logon attempts could be caused by you (typo when entering hidden password) or could be an indication of an attempt by a third party to guess your password.
System Response
Every failed attempt to log on with a password is counted. When a preconfigurable threshold value is exceeded, any further password logon attempts are blocked to keep your password from being guessed.
This counter is reset after a successful password logon. This message tells you the value before the deletion.
If you log on to the system in another way (with Single Sign-On, not with a password), the value of the counter remains unchanged. The number of failed password logon attempts is displayed again at the next logon.
Procedure
If you suspect that other people are attempting to guess your password, you should contact your system administrator. The system administrator can then log any logon attempts where additional information (time stamp, network address, and so on) is recorded which could help to determine the cause.
If you are also able to log on to the system without a password (using Single Sign-On), you should consider deactivating the password that is no longer required. Neither you nor other people can log on to the system using your user name and the deactivated password, further password logon attempts are denied. If it is not possible to log on to the system by password, this is no longer displayed to you in a warning message (about any failed password logon attempts).
Procedure for System Administration
Use the Security Audit Log to log both failed and successful logon attempts.
