Can you get into the project itself? By that I mean can you browse the project either in SmartEdit or SmartTree? Or are you completely locked out? If you can access the project, then the project lock is not the problem. Check if there are any authorisation packages. If you have copied the project there's a chance that you're user name is not in the authorisation package and thus preventing access. Check too that you have correct access for the particular project in the User settings under Server Manager.
