"File Locked" refers to the state of a digital file being inaccessible or restricted from modification, deletion, or unauthorized access due to security measures or user-defined settings. When a file is locked, it prevents unintended changes or alterations to its content, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. File locking mechanisms can be implemented through various means, such as password protection, encryption, or access control permissions. Users may lock files to prevent accidental edits, safeguard sensitive information, or comply with regulatory requirements. Unlocking a locked file typically requires providing the appropriate credentials or permissions specified by the file owner or administrator.
