Unhappy OpenWin Locked up

I have a server that is on solaris 9 and openwin is locked. The mouse won't respond and I can't seem to kill the openwin pid on the server.. Is there a command line to kill openwin from the server side?

I tried -9 before. sorry, I should of said that..
I think I've solved the problem.. i ended up doing a /usr/proc/bin/ptree <pid> and found the daemon spawning ptree each time I killed it.. Once I killed off that, I was able to sucessfully kill the PID of openwin and id did not come back.. then I killed the console just to be sure.

I'll let you know if it worked.. thanks for taking the time to read my question.
