This means that the account you are currently logged into on your PC is locked on the PC you are tryin to access. This happens most often in a workgroup evironment. If you want to gain acces to the other computer remotely or just access some shared files on the other machine your going to have to unlock the account you are using .
For example: If you are using the local administrator account on PC1 and your want to get some files from PC2 and you get this message, that means that PC2 has the local administrator account locked. Log onto PC2 with another acount (admin rights may be necessary) and unlock the local administrators account.
Domain administrators often lock the local administrator account on the servers they are resposinble for as added security.
Hope this helps you.

In group policies on the system, you can change the lockout policy.
In group policies, go to computer configuration -- account policies -- and there are 3 things to look at. Account lockout duration, account lockout threshold, and reset account lockout counter after.
If you are on a domain, you may not be able to change these.
