The following will lock an account
Code:
sudo passwd -l <username>

You could also change the users shell to /bin/false if you don't want them to log in

Code:
sudo usermod -s /bin/false <username>

As root you can type

passwd -L <username>

If you want to active again, as root

passwd -u <username>
