1. Launch the SAP Logon pad (         ).Double click on the Application Server (which you need to connect), from the SAP Logon pad. The SAP Logon screen appears.

2. In the SAP Logon screen, the value of the default client appears automatically, if you want to logon to a different client, then change it with the new client number.
3. Next, enter the User ID and password, which have been assigned to you. Here I am using the SAP minisap user ID and password I have changed.
4. Enter 'EN' in language to logon to English settings. Generally the language is defaulted to 'EN' or any other language depending on the country/users. So, you may not need to enter it in the SAP logon screen and it takes its values from the default settings.
5. After filling up the 4 fields, hit enter to logon to the SAP system.
6. During the first time logon to the system with your ID, you will be prompted to change your initial password. Change it to your preferred password.

7. However, to change your password later, click on the New Password push-button and set the password. 
   1. Select a new password and then confirm it by typing it again.  The asterisk will remain in the password field.
   2. Click on the          icon once you are satisfied with your password selection.

       The Password must contain at least 3 characters and no more than eight.

Once you have logged on to the application, the initial menu screen will appear.  All menus are displayed in the menu bar. The menus that appear in the menu bar varies according to the task you are doing in the R/3 System. Therefore, you will see different menus as you work on different tasks. Menus that are always available from every screen in the R/3 System:

• System:  This menu contains functions that affect the system as a whole, such as the Create Session, End Session, User Profile, or Log Off options.
• Help:  The Help menu contains functions for accessing various forms of online support.

Those icons which are available for use will be enabled (they will not be shaded gray). In order to determine what each icon represents on the tool bar, place the cursor on the icon (if it is enabled) and a floating box will appear with text and a unique Function key used to identify the icon.
