Best answer

This user account has expired. for assistance, contact your system administrator

This issue usually occurs if this user is not set to "Password never expired" in Active Directory.

If it's a test environment, login to the Active Directory server using the Administrator account and try to do the following:

Steps

  • Search for Active Directory Users and Computer.

    Active Directory Users and Computer

  • Search for the expired password user.
  • Double click to edit its properties.
  • Click on the "Account" Tab.
  • Make sure that the Password never expired is checked.

    Password never expired-min

  • Try now to connect, it should be working properly now.

Note: for some security policies, the system admin may need to uncheck Password never expired, in this case, you must reset the user password but if it's a SharePoint Service Account, so it should never be changed outside the SharePoint farm and should be changed from **SharePoint Managed Accounts
For more details, Please check
