HI,

I have a problem, I checkedout a file and reinstalled my PC. Got another PC and with valut i am dealing with the same file (same vault credentials), but when i checked out i am getting the error "The file has been exclusively locked out". Is there a way to unlock the file as i already reinstalled my PC.

What to do?

You need to go into the Vault web admin page and force an undo check out from there.
