How do you unlock a locked dynamic block?

I received some autoCAD files with some great dynamic blocks in it.  However, I would like to edit them, but I can't because they are all locked.

Does anyone out there know how to unlock locked dynamic blocks?  I don't want to just explode them and have to recreate the dynamic blocks.

Thanks,

DPA

I haven't experienced this before...

 

Do you get any error messages when trying to open them with BEDIT?

 

What if you use the WBLOCK command to "export" the block to a file, and then try to open this file?

Thanks. I was able to export to a wblock file and edit it in that. But I didn't work for some of the more complicated dynamic blocks. Regular dynamic blocks are easy to edit in block editor, but the locked ones are difficult.

Could you copy/paste one of the locked dynamic blocks into a blank drawing, and post that drawing here?
