User the account lockout tools

Is this user logged into more than one machine? Usually what happens is a
user has mapped drives to a resource from one machine, on a different
machine he changes his password and then the first machine attempts to stay
mapped to a drive and the password is no longer correct and eventually locks
the user out.

To help try and track down where the account is getting locked out use
eventcomboMT.exe from the Account Lockout tools found out Microsoft's
website. Use the built in search AccountLockouts and search in the created
text files for the user in question.
