That was resolved.
That did not lock the built-in Administrator account, which
cannot be locked out by normal means.
If your built-in Administrator account is locked out from
logging into the console of the machine, then you evidenlly
have been target of some malicious software (not that the
built-in Administrator account may have been renamed).

One thing that Fast User Switching does is to check local accounts for blank passwords to determine if a prompt should be provided for a particular user or not. Users who have elected to maintain blank passwords are not shown the prompt for their account when they switch accounts. Because of this, if account lockouts are enabled in conjunction with Fast User Switching, it is possible for this feature to inadvertently lockout accounts. If you want to enable the account lockout feature, it's recommended that you not use the Fast User Switching feature. I hope this is helpful in clarifying what you are seeing. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns."
