On many systems:
If you want to remove the homedir also, use the -r flag.
Alternativly, to just block access without removing the account, edit /etc/shadow and change the password to *LK* to lock the account.
If userdel isn't available, you can manually remove the entires from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Then just check /etc/group and remove their name, and delete their home directory.
