Sorry for my late reply here...just cleaning up old unanswered posts. If anyone else comes across this problem, try one of the following:

  1. If the lock is showing on the screen, click on it, hold down the mouse button, and drag to unlock like on a real device.
  2. Restart Eclipse and the emulator
  3. Check out Genymotion as an alternative to the default emulator.
