This can happen in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data or configuration settings simultaneously.

  Wait and Retry: If another user is using the tool, wait for them to finish and then try accessing it again.
  Check User Lock: If you have access, check the user sessions in the system to see if the user who has locked the tool is still active. You can use transaction code SM04 to view active user sessions.
