password change required to make network drives available

Hi,

On our small company network, every so often, connections to network
drives on my local machine are lost or disabled. When I try to
reconnect, it throws up an authentication dialog and when I try my
username/password it says it has already tried that and it didn't
work.

Changing my password through the Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu seems to reset
something and allow me successfully re-map the network drive (without
prompting me for authentication again).

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Cheers,
Andy

My guess: "Your Password has expired"
