To unlock an object

Locking an object prevents you from accidentally moving, sizing, transforming, filling, selecting, or otherwise changing the object. You can lock single, multiple, or grouped objects. To modify a locked object, you need to unlock it first. You can unlock one object at a time, or all locked objects at the same time.
