Unlock a stubborn outline

From The Essbase Wiki

I had a stubborn outline that I did this to. A different user had a lock on it and for whatever reason, I couldn't unlock it from EAS (version 7.x). So I fired up a MaxL shell:

This was run on the server itself but could easily be run from a remote location by specifying which analytic server to login to. Replace admin and password with the respective ID of a superuser, and of course, replace appname and databasename with the app/database to unlock objects for.
