  The SAP error message SR222, which states "Target system parameters changed; set new password," typically occurs in scenarios where there is a change in the connection parameters of a target system, such as when using RFC (Remote Function Call) connections or when working with SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or other system management tools.
  Cause:
  
  Password Change: The password for the user in the target system has been changed, and the system is unable to authenticate with the old password.
  User Lock: The user account in the target system may be locked or disabled.
  Connection Parameters: Changes in the connection parameters (like the client, user, or system ID) that require a new password to be set.
  Transport Management System (TMS): If you are using TMS, the error may arise due to changes in the transport domain or configuration.

  Update Password:
  
  Go to the target system and log in with the appropriate user credentials.
  Change the password for the user that is being used for the RFC connection.
