    Stand-Alone System all User and Admin Accounts are locked out


    I am running Windows 7 64bit, 32GB Ram, Dual 10 core processors.

    All accounts on the box will randomly get locked out. This lockout is occurring "at least on the surface" with no repeated log-on attempts or no repeated bad password entries. Simply press a keyboard or move the mouse to unlock the system, enter password and it says account is locked out. I attempt to switch users and it says that account is locked out also. Every user and Admin account on the box is locked.

    This behavior is randomly happening. I have not been able to duplicate the problem.

    Password complexity is enabled and it has a file the password is measured against
    Number of bad retries attempted is set at 3
    An administrator must unlocked the account once it is locked.

    Again, this box is not a part of a Domain, thus no domain controller is controlling the user account.

    Could you fill in your system specs completely.
    Use one or both of these tutorials.

    Is this computer at work under the control of a I.T. Department?
