Don't understand too much your question....

To unlock the xscreensavers it is sufficient to use the password of the
owner of the x session. If you are this one, it is your password. If it
is someone else ask him. If his not here or if your relations are bad,
kill the x session: Ctrl-Alt-Delete, you don't need to be root for this.
