Solve VMWare "Failed to lock the file" error

If your PC (with VMWare installed) crashed, after you restart the OS on VMWare, sometimes you'll see this error:

cannot open the disk '*.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disk is depends on.
Reason: Failed to lock the file.

Solution 1.

Find you VMWare OS folder, delete all *.lck files.

Solution 2.

Modify your *.vmk, add oneline:
disk.locking = "FALSE" 

In my case, I used solution 1 .
