# Unlock
In case autorestic throws the error message `an instance is already running. exiting`, but there is no instance running you can unlock the lock.
To verify that there is no instance running you can use `ps aux | grep autorestic`.
Example with no instance running:
```bash
> ps aux | grep autorestic
root 39260 0.0 0.0 6976 2696 pts/11 S+ 19:41 0:00 grep autorestic
```
Example with an instance running:
```bash
> ps aux | grep autorestic
root 29465 0.0 0.0 1162068 7380 pts/7 Sl+ 19:28 0:00 autorestic --ci backup -a
root 39260 0.0 0.0 6976 2696 pts/11 S+ 19:41 0:00 grep autorestic
```
**If an instance is running you should not unlock as it could lead to data loss!**
```bash
autorestic unlock
```
Use the `--force` to prevent the confirmation prompt if an instance is running.
```bash
autorestic unlock --force
```
