> # Fabric Lock Override

> If you have performed a fctimer fabric task and have forgotten to release the lock by either committing or discarding the changes, an administrator can release the lock from any switch in the fabric. If the administrator performs this task, your changes to the pending database are discarded and the fabric lock is released.

> Tip The changes are only available in the volatile directory and are subject to being discarded if the switch is restarted.
