The "account is locked" message sounds like the user account on the
remote machine has the locked flag in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
See the "lock" and "unlock" sections of 'man passwd'.

You may have created the new user account with an invalid or locked
password.

Easiest way to check is to login to the new user account using either
a console or 'su'. Full way is to look at /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
