I can't tell for certain without examining your machine's current process list, but you may have an active process that is holding the lock to the SQLite database.

I've "locked" a database before and had to search down the errant process and terminate it before I could regain access.

Check this link out-- it's pretty old, but still relevant

I got that error also. It kind of hangs when you try to answer Y or N. Then you get this huge error
