+# 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
+```
