I think the break-lock command is what you are looking for:

david at zepto:~$ bzr break-lock --help
usage: bzr break-lock [LOCATION]

Break a dead lock on a repository, branch or working directory.

CAUTION: Locks should only be broken when you are sure that the process
holding the lock has been stopped.

You can get information on what locks are open via the 'bzr info'
command.

example:
    bzr break-lock

options:
    --help, -h                show help message
