Apparently you can unlock any user by entering the root password.
I've never tried.
I just tried (FC2) and that does not work here.
As an alternative, ssh to the machine, or switch to a virtual
console
(Ctrl+Alt+F1), log in as root, then run pkill xscreensaver.
CTRL-ALT-F2 might be better, since on some computers (apparently
according to some posts here earlier) CTRL-ALT-F1 turns some
computers OFF.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
