Windows 7 Domain Account Lock Out issue

Clear cached credentials from Windows Profile:

1) remove passwords by clicking on Start > Run > type "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr" and then delete the Domain-related and if required other stored passwords.
2) remove passwords and Cookie information from Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > General > Delete Browsing History > Delete > check Passwords checkbox and Cookies check box and Delete.
3) Disconnect all networks drives (pls make a note of the mappings), reboot, then map them again

also try these steps: Click Start, click Run, type Control Userpasswords2
select advanced and click manage passwords. Remove all stored passwords from both web credentials and windows credentials.
a helpful article form microsoft where you can download the account lockout status tool and troubleshoot accordingly http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/0f88e0b6-7aa0-4917-bd06-68f77f14493e/
