Windows 7 Admin Account Inexplicably Locked Out
Rebooted Dell Latitude E6400 laptop running a pretty fresh install of 7, went to log back in, and was told that the admin account I was using was locked out. The computer is in a domain, but may not have been connected to the domain network at the time of the lockout. When the lockout reset, I was able to find Event ID 4740 - A user account was locked out - in the Event Viewer, but nothing else explaining why. I'd like to figure out what caused the lockout, so that I can prevent it from happening again.
