I locked a remote screen and now it's locked for ever!

Hi,


I have ML and I did Curtain another computer (Lion) with Remote Desktop 3.6. I don't know what happened in the middle of my working after I took control it disconnected. Now I'm trying to Control or do anything to make it to the normal but it's not working! It goes forever to connect and there is no response.


The remote computer is locked and I did a restart by holding power button but the screen still locked.


What should I do?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

It was a MAC Pro and all I was doing was holding power button. I unplug a power and it worked. It was bad that I haven't seen this post though I searched a lot! But this might work too just in case:

Not that I know of. You could try a restart of the ARD agent:


/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart -restart -agent


and see if that helps (you may need to try killing the screenlock process again afterwards). If not, force-restarting the server may be your only option.


Regards.
