Question UNIX Account getting Locked Everyday between same Time Frame

I am facing an Issue with a particular Unix Account ( ie a particular Userid) getting LOCKED everyday between 7:30am and 8:00am. The Password associated with this particular Account has been setup such that it should never Expire at all but it does LOCK the Account after more than 3 failed attempts.This is an AIX 5.3 Server.

I am not a Unix Admin but just an Application User.I am NOT aware of any jobs running on this Server during this time or running on other Servers trying to Connect to this Particular Server under this Unix Account.

Everyday i test this Account by loggin in at 7:30am and then 8:00am .At 7:30am it works fine but by 8:00am it gets locked.So somewhere in between it gets Locked. This has been happening since more than a Week and everyday i have to request my Security team to unlock the Account after 8:00am.Not exactly sure when this issue started.

In this Scenario , given the timeframe 7:30am and 8:00am between which the LOCK occurs, how do i go about Figuring out why this Account on this server is getting Locked? Will the Unix Admin be in a position to determine what is happening during this timeframe causing this LOCK?

NAME
sshare - Tool for listing the shares of associations to a cluster. SYNOPSIS
sshare [OPTIONS...] DESCRIPTION
sshare is used to view SLURM share information. This command is only viable when running with the priority/multifactor plugin. The sshare information is derived from a database with the interface being provided by slurmdbd (SLURM Database daemon) which is read in from the slurmctld and used to process the shares available to a given association. sshare provides SLURM share information of Account, User, Raw Shares, Normalized Shares, Raw Usage, Normalized Usage, Effective Usage, and the Fair-share factor for each association. OPTIONS
-A, --accounts= Display information for specific accounts (comma separated list). -a, --all Display information for all users. -h, --noheader No header will be added to the beginning of the output. -l, --long Long listing - includes the normalized usage information. -M, --clusters=<string> Clusters to issue commands to. -p, --parsable Output will be '|' delimited with a '|' at the end. -P, --parsable2 Output will be '|' delimited without a '|' at the end. -u, --users= Display information for specific users (comma separated list). -v, --verbose Display more information about the specified options. -V, --version Display the version number of sshare. --help --usage Display a description of sshare options and commands. SSHARE OUTPUT FIELDS
Account The Account. User The User. Raw Shares The raw shares assigned to the user or account. Norm Shares The shares assigned to the user or account normalized to the total number of assigned shares. Raw Usage The number of cpu-seconds of all the jobs that charged the account by the user. This number will decay over time when PriorityDe- cayHalfLife is defined. Norm Usage (only appears with sshare -l option) The Raw Usage normalized to the total number of cpu-seconds of all jobs run on the cluster, subject to the PriorityDecayHalfLife decay when defined. Effectv Usage The Effective Usage augments the normalized usage to account for usage from sibling accounts. FairShare The Fair-Share factor, based on a user or account's assigned shares and the effective usage charged to them or their accounts. EXAMPLES
> sshare -A <Account> > sshare --parsable --users=<User> COPYING
