If you are using LDAP then Splunk will default to that as the login type and you cannot use local logins. If you need to use a local login, then you need to specify certain URI values like this:
.../en-US/account/login?loginType=splunk

Hi,
Please check with your admin to check for whether the user is locked or not.
Go to Settings-->Users(Under Users and authentication)-->Search for the user.
It's better to reset the password
P.S- I hope you are using native login not LDAP or saml
