Here is my case. I had a remote machine that hosted SQL Server. From my local machine, I was trying to access the SQL instance via some C# code and I was getting this error. My password for the user account on my machine/domain had expired. I fixed it with the following:

1. Opened the remote machine, which prompted me for a password change
2. I changed my password within this prompt and logged into the remote machine
3. I "locked" my local machine (using windows + L key so I didn't have to completely sign off) so that I could get back to the sign-on page
4. I signed back onto my local machine with the new password

Everything then worked fine.
