Please provide a lot more detail. Is this from a workstation? Event log
errors? Anyone at all able to log onto the domain from that workstation? Can
this user log in elsewhere?

When you post, it's important to give as much background detail as possible,
including what you've tried already. Otherwise, you're asking people to do a
lot of guesswork.

The complicated reasons that you are having trouble:
It is possible to create a user account while connected to one domain
controller and have a delay in replication or replication issue prevent the
addition of the user being available to the other domain controllers. Then,
if that user tries to log in, but is hitting a domain controller that has not
recieved a copy of that new user's record, they will get this kind of log on
denial. The solutions to this problem are to wait for the replication
cycles, check all of the domain controllers event logs to look for
replication errors and finally to connect to different domain controllers to
verify that the user exists in each of the DCs copy of the Active Directory
database.

The simple reasons that you are having trouble:
The user name, domain and password are not being entered correctly. I know
I have fat fingered a large number of passwords in my day and I have also
forgotten to select the "domain" when logging on - usually the local accounts
differ from the domain accounts.

I hope that helps,
