Question Unlocking KDE

Currently we have KDE installed on Solaris 9.

The problem is though when a user locks the machine I (as root) can not unlock the machine.

What do I have to do to make it so that root user can unlock the machine when a user locks it?


Cheers

log in remotely and kill the (xlock?) process.

EDIT: not only that ( i just tried this Smilie ) , but you can still switch virtual terminals (ctrl + alt f1- f7 (xsession)) while kde is locked. so, you wont have to log in remotely, just switch your tty, log in as root, and kill the xlock process.
