Answer / swamy naidu kollu
By default User account information is stored
in /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow file. So have to
edit /etc/shadow file and delete the *LK* for that
particular user password mapped in /etc/shadow.
or
unlock it using
#passwd -u <user name>
or
#passwd <user name>
Newpasswd:*******
Re-enter:*******
==================================================
With regards to logs depends on what naming service you are
using ( NIS or LDAP). You can check them in the log files
at what time the user account was locked.
