Hi,

ALockout.dll on the computer that the user uses, and also
LockoutStatus.exe.

You should also read the two following chapters

"Troubleshooting Account Lockout"
"Account Lockout Tools"

here:

Dear friends,

Its too simple...

Go to Administrative tools-->AD user and computer

Then select the that particular user(Locked user account).

Go to that user Properties.

In the Account tab, un-check the password never expires option.

Thats all.....

Cheers,
