it might be saving some earlier password in some of web config or other places. can you check if this is happening when you're trying to connect through an application?

is the check_policy enabled for the account(s)?
save the password so you don't need to type it again in ssms and risk getting it locked out again if that is the case

yes, either unmark it if you are unable to remember the passwords or just register the sql instance in ssms and save the login credentials


or perhaps investigate why the account(s) get locked out frequently
