Well, how is this instance configured for log ins?   Are you using LDAP or local accounts?  I know your original post says source is "present" but that may not necessarily mean that it's accurate and that may be your problem.

We use LDAP.

 

Thanks.I will look in that direction.

browse your LDAP and make sure that account is actually in the area that's looked at by the server.  I know that we only map it to look at certain OUs and if that account was moved or accidentally disabled then you'd get that message

Also, ensure that they aren't locked out in the LDAP server itself, as ServiceNow would receive an invalid password error back from the server if they're locked out over there.
