Try double-clicking the random icon that you don’t know near your clock — it is a boss-safe Messenger icon replacement.  If that does not work, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking.

Hello KBfan,
please press the same shortcut that you used for locking it, default is Ctrl+Space.

To restart Windows Live Messenger completely without rebooting:

-Hold the WindowsKey and press R, a little window titled "Run" should open.
-Enter "taskmgr" and press Enter.
-In Windows Task Manager, go to "Processes" and find "msnmsgr.exe"
-Right click that process and select "End Process."
-Close the Task Manager

Wait about 5 seconds and start Windows Live Messenger again from your Program list. This time around though, make sure you know the code before you lock it. :P
