I'm having a hard time with the same error 'maya 2022'

Try this:

import maya.cmds as cmds
# defaultTextureList1 -- the lock node.
cmds.lockNode('defaultTextureList1', l=False, lockUnpublished=False)

Hi,

do you know to unlock or lock this 'defaulTextureList1' node not using script?

script works but i cannot find this node in maya.

[creationasif]

for temp solution you can run this in mel 

lockNode -lock off -lu 0 defaultTextureList1;

For permanent solution you can ping me directly

It's default node of Maya. You can find it from here：

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.ls(defaultNodes=True)

Locking the default node can protect the node, but they will pollute Maya’s default environment.
If you open a wrong file, other files will have lock information when they resave. 

import maya.cmds as cmds
# unlock all dfault nodes
[cmds.lockNode(i, l=False) for i in cmds.ls(defaultNodes=True)​]
