Do you have the root passwd? If its a secured box, in 10.20 you may only be authorized to connect from console...
As root you can either using SAM or command line (less obvious but if you want to know just ask...) see the status of that account (sam -> Accounts for users and groups - choose the use then menubar choose Action - You may see Reactivate (on cliking on it - it may display the reason why the account was locked... not sure though I have no trusted box nearby at the moment...)
