Rather, to clarify: you could spend a _very_ long time on this:
significantly more than a few days.

Usually, time is not on your side when you're up against a crypto
challenge and don't have lots of resources at your disposal.  If
you don't manage to get the lock-file back you might want to cut
your losses and move on to plan B for the night.

I'd be interested to hear how things work-out for you.
