    More information needed.

    Are you using an email app for your email, or are you checking webmail with a browser?  Try both.

    Is your email address linked to a VM broadband account?

      The email address is connected to Ntlworld.com. The password that is locked and cannot be reset relates to webmail access for this account. I understand that once this credential is reset I will need a second password for email applications.

    You will not be able to continue this email account unless it is linked to a current Virginmedia broadband account. You cannot avoid the question.

      There is a valid Virgin account associated with it.

    Log into that account, and find the email listed there. If it's the primary email account you will be able to change the webmail password. If it's a secondary email you will need to first create a MyVirginmedia account for it as VM now requires.
