I hope your problem is solved ... but I'd encourage you to keep an eye on
this, at the least.

.Xauthority should have no connection with ssh logins ... and I just
verified that the one host where I have an account but no .Xauthority file
(this file derives from running X sessions, as you might guess from the
name, so is present on my workstations) connects just fine with Winscp.

I don't know what "user account is locked" means, possibly hecause I don't
know the context in which you got that message.
