Wrong user in “File is locked for editing by another user”

We use CIFS shares to store data including Microsoft Office files.



If user tries to open Microsoft Office file which is already opened by another user, there is a message Filename is locked for editing by 'user' but in this message the information about user is not correct.



So the information that file is locked is correct.



But the information about user who locked the file is NOT correct.



What could be the reason for that ?



Where is this information about the user who locked the file coming ?



How to correct this information ?
