Win XP administrator account question?

I keep getting locked out of the only admin account on my XP.

I know how to unlock the account and get it back but cant figure out why it locks the account in the first place. It has happened twice once while I was playing a MMORPG and the other time just now I was changing my network setting.

Update:

I know how to unlock it I want to know why it does it in the first place

    Turn off your pc. Try taking out the lithium battery on your motherboard for 30sec or more. Put it back and turn it on again. it will erase the memory for the password
