there quite lot of  reasons behind problem. there couple of things should verify in order solve this. check similar thread , let know if helpful.  

    but in nutshell:

    there are plenty of reasons account being locked out. important reasons listed below:

    • some services use credentials in their start up process. have determine if have correctly set user , password services in "services.msc"
    • check credential manager for wrong configured user , passwords.
