From the local model that is failing check-in, copy the changed objects to another model for back-up purposes and save that model.\\n2. Remove the failing local model from the workspace AND the filesystem\\n3. Reboot the machine that is causing the exception.\\n4. As an admin; Go to the Repository > Administration > Locks... window\\n You'll not see the locks that you expect to see.\\n5. As an admin; Add a lock for the model that you want to unlock.\\n You'll get the message, saying that you cannot get exclusive access.\\n6. Bypass the protection\\n7. As an admin; Remove the lock that you've just added.\\n Your model is now unlocked.\\n8. As an admin; Check out the model and check it back in to make sure a new version number is created.\\n9. Let your user check out the model from the repository and copy back the changed objects.\\n10. Check in the changed model et voila.\\n\\nThis worked for us; hopefully it'll help you too!\\n\\nCheers,\\nRudy\",\"author\":\"username\":\"former.member\",\"displayName\":\"Former Member\",\"groupIcons\":[],\"suspended\":true,\"isCurrentUser\":false,\"id\":12603243,\"posted\":1474385384000,\"votes\":0,\"isAccepted\":false,\"isLocked\":false,\"userVoted\":\"\",\"relations\":\"canCancelAccept\":false,\"canUnlock\":false,\"canUseDelete\":false,\"canVoteDownOrCancel\":false,\"canLock\":false,\"canAccept\":false,\"type\":\"answer\",\"canVoteUpOrCancel\":false,\"isCurrentUserAuthor\":false,\"attachments\":[]]"), answerForm: formAction: "/answers/10652037/post.json", textareaName: "body", textareaErrors: "", isAttachmentsEnabled: true, answerEditorialGuideline: title: "Before answering", content: "You should only submit an answer when you are proposing a solution to the poster\'s problem.
