Blowing the users profile away will probably fix it as well, but that's probably a last resort @Ray, you have probably got a stale connection in the users profile somewhere, remove all the mapped drives, and do a net use at the command prompt to see if there is anything else still connected, if there is remove that as well.

If user xyz logs in on a different machine, abc is ok. So, apparently, it's something on his original machine. I have un-joined, rejoined the domain, same error. Thinking about exporting his data, renaming his profile, then logging in again to create a fresh profile and reimport his data. But would like your opinion please?

LOL - It is especially annoying when you get someone that is a lot older and they literally don't even speak your language, they could be either trying to turn the computer on or type in their password and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I have told a few clients that they seriously need to have their grand kids over to show them the ropes because they don't know enough to even get things moving. uugggghhh arrrgggghhh those are my thoughts about dealing with customers forgetting their passwords…..
