You probably just hit Ctrl-Alt-Del as we all usually do and so didn't see the "This computer is Locked" screen.

When a user locked their PC an admin could unlock it and cause the user to be logged out. Now with Win7 I dont seem to have that option. What are my options other then shutting down the PC?
