Andrey,
I ran into this same issue shortly after we upgraded our domain to
Win2k AD last summer. Funny thing was, all the lockouts were coming from
Windows 98 workstations. I could never put my finger on it, and in
desperation finally disabled account lockouts. However, invalid password
attempts were still being logged in the event view.
Shortly after moving the domain over to native mode, the problem all
but disappeared. Now that the majority of our desktops are running Win2k,
I'll probably re-enable the account lockout policy and monitor the event
logs.
Strangest thing, and to this day my must frustrating mystery.

Subject: OT: Windows accounts are getting locked out by themselves
Hello everyone.
In our Windows 2000 Active Directory, we implemented a lockout policy
that would lock someone's account after 5 unsuccessful logon attempts.
Now we are having a rash of incidents where people's accounts get locked
out just like that. The users do not make any unsuccessful logon
attempts, they just login normally and then the account is locked. I
checked and these users are not running any services or scheduled jobs
under their accounts either.
What could this be?
