Passwd getting locked

Hi, there is a password lock problem happening everyday at one of the servers(GNU RH-Linux;kernel release version 2.6.18-308.20.1.el5) for a particular user id which is an appln user id. Everyday it needs to be reset by the owner/unix user mgmt team. My suspicion was if any cronjob was running using old passwd then the user id/passwd would get locked after 3 unsuccessful attempts. But unable to find any. Don't know how to go further.
Request help and advice in this regard.
