In version 8 the better mechanism is to disconnect the session using Web Console for Information Server. When you open the job you get a dialog showing the owner of the lock. That's the session ID that you need to disconnect.

Thanks Ray !!

Some time i have seen that if your job is locked by ABC user and using Admin ID if i login to Web Console i don;t find User ID ABC's session ID in console. Well in this case You have to Unlock From Admin Command prompt or from Xmeta Database.
