What do you mean 'unlock a database'? What are you trying to do?

Still not understanding the problem, could you explain in more detail?

If it's file permissions, then grant the needed permissions or ask your administrator to help you.

There are having two systems which are not in domain. so they re planning to restore the database from A server to B.

in A server they are using the external drive but they don't have the access to A sql server. they copied the backup file and trying restore in B server here they are getting the error like "Unable to open the physical file "p:\*****\*****.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)"

You need to grant the SQL Server service account (the account SQL runs under) full control of all data and log files and all folders which contain data and log files.

If the files are "locked" it sounds like a SQL Server instance is actively using them. You may want to look into the process for taking a database backup to assist you in migrating your database to a new server.
