Have to reset user's password every day

Recently, we changed all of our users' passwords on our
Windows 2000 AD network. Since then, only 1 out of over
200 users have a problem logging on every morning. When
he logs on in the morning w/ the new password, it comes
back and tells him that the PW is incorrect. Once we
reset it, it lets him in. We have confirmed that he is
typing in the correct PW (as we have tried it
ourselves). We have had to reset it every day for over a
week now. Is this a user profile issue or a server
issue? Any thoughts? Thanks!
