If the problem persists you have to try identifying the service that locks tha database in one of this 2 ways: 1) Examine system event logs for errors (database locked ..) 2) Set all unnecessary services to start "Manual" (do this editing the registry), reboot and, if the problem does'nt happens, try re-enabling services one by one to locate which one is causing the problem. Hope this helps. The correct command is:
C:\>sc lock u

then, if possible, the system will ask you to press letter ‘u’ on
your keyboard to confirm that you want to unlock the services database
but it’s possible to receive the message

[SC] LockServiceDatabase FAILED 1055:
The service database is locked.

in this case you can just wait and retry.

I guess If that didn't do it, your comment will. Thanks for visiting! Bruno,
