Posted on behalf of forum user 'Uma'.

hi team,

There is one file where an exclusive lock is placed on that file.
Request you to guide me as to how to remove that exclusive lock so that others
can also modify that file.

thanks
Uma

For the sake of people who find this via search, the answer is to use "p4
edit -t <filetype without +L>". So for example, if you are forcing
your way into a binary+L file you'd run "p4 edit -t binary".
Clearly you'd only want to do this in an emergency( there's a reason you
locked the file... ) but it's good to have an escape hatch.
