The domain security policies is where you set your lockout policies for users. On the DC you should go to Administrative Tools --> Domain Security Policy --> Security Settings --> Account lockout policy. Review your settings.

If a user is locked out, the most common reason is that they have tried to log in unsuccessfully 3 or 5 times (the # depends on the settings for your domain). So a user might have typed the password wrong 3 times, then was locked out, so even if they use the right password, they still cannot get in.

Make certain that the user is using a correct password, and that the CAPS lock is not on.

As you now know, you can unlock the acct by unchecking the box.
