Hello,
first check the domain level lockout policy that is applied and what settings are applied.
If you are using 2008 DFL then check if you have PSO objects that are linked to your users.
Do you have a an application/service that is running using this account? If yes, it is possible that it is using a wrong password.
It is also possible that another user is trying to logon using this account with a bad password.
