  Release Locks: If you have administrative privileges, you can check for and release any locks that may be preventing access. This can usually be done through the SAP HANA Studio or relevant administrative tools.
  Log Out and Log Back In: Sometimes, simply logging out of the system and logging back in can clear any stale sessions that might be causing the lock.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for assistance.
