You should use Windows Addon to parse events:

Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows | Splunkbase

Then the search is like:

index=wineventlog source=XmlWinEventLog:Security EventCode=4625

Are you looking to extract the target user  name and eventid from the XML? I assume you already have the timestamps?

| spath Event.System.EventID output=eventid
| spath Event.EventData output=eventdata
| spath input=eventdata
| eval zipped=mvzip('Data{@Name}',Data,"=")
| eval zipped=mvfilter(match(zipped,"TargetUserName"))
| eval name=mvindex(split(zipped,"="),0)
| eval {name}=mvindex(split(zipped,"="),1)
| table _time eventid TargetUserName

Yes, I try to extract TargetUserName from 4740 and match it with the same TargetUserName in 4625. And Vice versa condition as well for 2nd scenario.

Sort by descending time; find the next 4740; sort by ascending time; find the prior 4740; then evaluate if an attempt is within an hour of the next lock; find the time of the previous lock (within 2 hours) for each failed attempt

| gentimes start=-1 increment=10m 
| rename starttime as _time 
| eval user="user".mvindex(split("ABC",""),random()%3)
| eval event=mvindex(split("4740,4625,4625,4625,4625",","),random()%5)



| sort 0 - _time
| eval time4740=if(event=4740,_time,null())
| eval time4625=if(event=4625,_time,null())
| streamstats earliest(time4740) as next4740 by user
| sort 0 _time
| streamstats latest(time4740) as prior4740 by user
| table _time event user next4740 prior4740
| eval attemptprior=if(event=4625, next4740-_time < 60*60, null())
| eval earlierlockout=if(event=4625 AND _time-prior4740 < 60*60*2, prior4740, null())


| fieldformat next4740=strftime(next4740,"%F %T")
| fieldformat earlierlockout=strftime(earlierlockout,"%F %T")
| fieldformat prior4740=strftime(prior4740,"%F %T")
