Re: Account Being Locked Somewhere

This happens occasionally to our users who check a box somewhere to
save their password. To fix it, while logged in as the user, go to
User Accounts in the Control Panel. On the Advanced tab, choose Manage
Passwords, and delete whatever is there.

If the user does not have sufficient priveleges to get into User
Accounts, there's a "manage passwords" option on the login screen.

One of my users, a developer, keeps getting his account locked out, but I
don't see anything in the domain controller security event log that helps me
figure out why it's being locked.

He changed his password this morning, so maybe he has a service that uses
his account.

Is there any way to track down where (machine or otherwise) his account is
being locked from?
