SQLite does not use a persistent locking mechanism.  It doesn't write something 
to the file saying "this file is locked" and refuse to open a file with that 
status.  Lock status is maintained by the operating system and rebooting the 
computer (if you can't find a simpler way) should unlock everything.

If you are getting an error message of some kind from a SQLite function, tell 
us what it is and we may be able to help you.  If your error message is coming 
from your OS we probably can't.

As part of opening a database SQLite will automatically notice and rollback all 
incomplete commands including indexing.
