Check the folder the file is in. Normally you will find the same file name with
a prefix of ~ added. the other file name is how Open office knows it was being
edited. You have 2 choices: 1) Open the file with the ~ prefix – this should
contain some of the changes made during the last edit session. 2) Delete the ~
prefix file. This loses all your changes but takes away locked for editing
message.

Sir
Would like to ask a question relating to a problem faced by me in Open Office.
Whilst working in a text document in Open Office, power trip forced the
computerto shut down.
On opening the document in which I was working the following message pops up
Document Locked for Editing
Question : How to remove this feature - Locked for Editing?
Regards
S. Padmanabhan
