AD account locking continuously - Help

I recently changed my AD password (10 days ago) and now my account
locks 2 or 3 times a day. Mostly when I try to RDP to a server it
will lock instantly. I'm wondering if anyone can point me int he
direction of resolving this. I figured it was a service running under
my account but I have not been able to find it. I have changed my pwd
plenty int he last several months and this has never happened.

Thanks for any input-
