In one of our database,the user is scott and password is tiger.Then the passowrd was changed to lion.Now when ever we are trying to open the database in toad,we are getting an error saying account is locked.The error is ORA-28000.Then we are unlocking the account using an alter statement by entering as sysdba.Then we are able to open the database.But daily the same is happening.Whenever we are trying to open the database it is saying account is locked.Again we need to run the alter statement and unlock it.Can any one tell why is this happening?Or any suggestion what do rectify this error.

I think when you said opening the database you meant connecting as scott.
You have to first see what profile is associated to scott (query dba_users) then know the profile parameters (query dba_profiles).
There likely is a limit on number of failed connections, so you have to find which process try to connect as scott.

Do you do a nightly restore?
Do you run a nightly batch that tries to logon as scott/tiger and locks out the account?
Do you open TOAD with 'automatic' logon?
How many invalid logons are allowed?
