You can use IndexWriter.unlock(Directory) to forcefully unlock the index; just be certain the old IndexWriter really is gone before doing that.
Or, if you have an IndexWriter still open, you could try IndexWriter.rollback(), which discards all changes and closes the IndexWriter. Or perhaps IndexWriter.deleteAll followed by commit. When you get LockObtainFailedException it means your lock file is still present and "locked"; what Directory and LockFactory are you using?
