Referenced account is currently locked out

Recently I experienced a problem accessing a network share. Each time I go to start > run > \\networkshare I always get this error message :
\\networshare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to.

I have checked with the administrator and unlock my AD account but the error persist.
Seems that there is a cache on my user profile accessing the network share using wrong password.
The solution is then I force using this in command prompt :
net use \\networkshare\ipc$ /user:domain\user

Then it asks for password and later I can access the networkshare again.

Check my computer 32 or 64 bit

Go to Start > Run and type in msinfo32 then hit OK.

On the window that comes up, look at Processor. If it says x86 (something) then it's a 32 bit processor. Otherwise, it's 64.

Taken from Experts Exchange

Also this link shows various ways to find 64 bit cabability in various OS.
