You shouldn't suggest that to users when it's mearly someone using a bot to login to an account X times and kicking them off .
So it isn't possible that someone was/is using a virus, or even a keylogger, to get that information and quickly lock him out of his account? Take it from me, it happened to me until I formatted.
I forget exactly how many attempts that it takes for failed logins until your acount is locked for X minutes (It's changed since the last time I tried it). cd02 didn't state someone had his password, only that his account kept getting locked. Even if cd02 had a virus or a keylogger, recommending a format is the last resort. A virus scan/adware scan should be the first steps.
