How do I resolve a Subversion "423 Locked" error?

Resolve this issue by removing all zombie locks from the repository, then remove the lock on the file or unlock the repository file.

Note: All solutions require access to the repository.

1. Remove all zombie locks from the repository.

svnadmin lslocks /var/svn/repositories/lockrepo-one/
Path: /trunk/file
UUID Token: opaquelocktoken:2001a3c5-151f-4ffb-95c4-cb965641dcc3
