Right - but what Roger is getting at is if these people are possibly already logged in on another computer. Situation would be: User is logged on computer. Forgets he/she is logged on. Logs on to main computer and changes password. Still logged on to other computer with old password. Can successfully log on to main computer with new password, but account keeps getting locked out. It happened to me once, and it took me a couple of days to figure out which other computer I was logged in to.
