from the menu, you need to go into "Inkscape

that way you can select it.
Then on the menu, go to "object/object properties" and uncheck
"lock"
there ought to be a better way i think.
The other main way I can think of is to go to the Edit menu and bring
up the XML Editor window. Then you can go down through its tree and
select the object there. Once it is selected, either bring up the
object properties dialog to uncheck the lock, or (for the brave of
heart) just edit the XML directly.
