Get rid of windows user getting locked everytime

If  you have recently changed your password and your user id is getting locked on a windows system in a LAN network.
 Then, this can be due to your connection  to a network share.
 The connection is using the old password from cache and  locking your ID  everytime .

Procedure to fix is as below :

type "net use" in command prompt
This will display all your connected sessions to network share

Now, Disconnect the network drive
Once again , type "net use" in command prompt .

Now type "klist purge" in command prompt.
This will remove the Kerberos authentication ticket from the machine . This was the one which was locking you everytime.

Thats it.
