Actions:
Default Passwords of Standard Users 
Connect to the SAP system using SAP* user with the default password PASS.
You need to create the user SAP* in the missing client and set a non standard password.
Most importantly you need to make sure that the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar is set to 1.
Ensure that:

Another one set  parameters in RZ10 as  login/no_automatic_user_sapstar=0 you need to change it to 1 and get system rebooted.
