Pretty close.

You need to escape the second (

In general a . represents any character in the sed world.

) .) - So, why the whitespace and the dot ? Drop those

Code:
sed -n -e 's_.*(\(.*\)).*_\1_p'

Code:
$ p4 opened -a | grep *locked*

//packages/av_codecs/main/g7231/g7231.vcproj#2 - edit default change (text) by rjongbloed@rjongbloed-ixmobile-vt-main *locked*
//packages/av_codecs/main/gsm_amr/gsm_amr.vcproj#2 - edit default change (text) by rjongbloed@rjongbloed-ixmobile-vt-main *locked*
//packages/av_codecs/main/h26x/h26x.vcproj#2 - edit default change (text) by rjongbloed@rjongbloed-ixmobile-vt-main *locked*
//packages/h324stack/main/common/commapi/src/win32/BtISDN/btisdn.vcproj#3 - edit default change (text) by rjongbloed@rjongbloed-ixmobile-vt-main *locked*

Just for reference , you could have used "by" as the delimiter and used awk like this:
p4 opened -a | grep *locked*|awk -F"by" '{print $NF}' |cut -d'*' -f1
