Are you using a external authentication source like LDAP or 
Active Directory? If
so you will need to let xscreensaver know about it. For example I 
have this:

/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver

auth sufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so
account required /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so
password sufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so
