Workstation won't unlock 1

[rensai]

Had a weird thing happen the other day. I had a new workstation I had just finished loading the new company standard image onto to test it. I was logged in as the local admin. I got pulled away on another job so I locked the workstation and left. When I came back I could not unlock it. I am 100% sure I used the same password I had used to login in the first place. I've since used an ERD disk to reset the password and it seems to be fine now. But, this was such an odd thing I thought I'd ask if anyone has any insight into what might have happened?

I did take a look at the security log and it was logging 680 events with a message about authentication package failure.

Thanks
