I checked your profile and I could not find any thread that was locked by your account. There was threads, which you participated in, that were locked by moderators. You cannot delete/edit posts in a locked thread, and I suspect you may have not noticed the thread was locked until it didn't allow you to delete/edit your content.
As mentioned, only Administrators, or moderators of their assigned forum where the thread resides, can lock threads.
If you still believe you locked the thread, send me a link and I'll check the thread history.
You did not lock that thread. The thread was locked by moderator petwer99 on 09:52, 4th Jun 2008
You cannot lock threads, nor can you unlock threads. This is a function only to staff.
You will need to contact one of the moderators of that forum (Grumpy, ShanMan14, pewter99, HummelS, ALLTHROTTLE&NOBOTTLE, Tact, LV Vette, jersey jay, mvcrash, TN 2005 C6 ) or an Administrator such as Savewave. They likely will not unlock the thread as it was locked for a reason.
Explain the situation to them.

The threads don't really need to be unlocked, as the user is just wanting to delete his posts but cannot because once a thread is locked, all content cannot be edited or deleted.

I was speaking from the standpoint as a user. A user cannot edit or delete content once the thread is locked. Moderators are exempt of this, of course.
This is why the user wants the threads opened, so he can remove the content in his posts of the locked thread. Notice that's what he was doing.
Yes, I noticed you deleted his post, per his request. I could have done so, too, but that's a moderator decision and I don't go there. You have checked my account, right?

I probably wasn't entirely clear when I typed my response about locked threads and editing/deleting content - that it was from a user stand point. Moderators wouldn't be too effective if they couldn't delete or edit content
