Notes:

You must have Security - Manage Locks permission to view and delete user locks; the initial Admin administrator automatically has this permission
If you want to display the resulting information in a more readable layout, you can resize the dialog and its columns
If an element is locked then connectors attached to it are also locked, so to unlock the connector you must unlock the element; however, under certain circumstances you can add new connectors to a locked element
