What do you mean it won't unlock? Is it not accepting the password?

I would try removing the battery and trying again.

If it's not giving you the option, what shows when you select unlock?

Can you select any of those icons?

If you're seeing icons, then the device doesn't sound locked to me.

I would try to reload your OS.

kinda sounds like "standby" and not "lock" or the battery is very discharged.
