Account lockout problem

S

Stuart

Im having a problem with the logon,
My account is being lockout by the laptop.
I have set it up so that after 3 invaild logon attemps it
will lock the account. however it locks the account
every second day or so, and i have to go in and unlock it
by the administrators account, i know for sure that no
one has been trying to access it. i know for sure that i
enter the right password. i have looked at it myself but
could not find why it does this. does anyone have an idea
to solove my problem.

Hi Stuart,

One possibility:
On laptops it is very easy to accidentally turn on the numlock.This will
result in typing the wrong password and locking yourself out without
realizing it.
