Account locked out - logged in somewhere else?

[stokefan]

Hi,

My NT account on my domain is constantly locked out, I believe I could
possibly be logged in somewhere else and have changed my password on
another Windows session.

Maybe I could be logged into an application somewhere else on the
network too, and have checked a "remember my password" box somewhere,
or logged onto a computer with Remote Desktop Connection. I've tried
changing my password back to what I thought it used to be, although I'm
not sure I got the right one.

My question is - is there any way I can find where I'm locked out?

Ask the network administrator. He should have the means of determining
exactly who is logged in to each and every machine on his domain.
