SharePoint 2007: Page is checked out by another user. How can I force an end to the check-out?

A page has been checked out by someone who I am not able to contact. I need to update the page but cannot check it out until the current check-out is finished.

How can I force the current check-out to be discarded?

If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:

  1. Site Actions
  2. View All Site Content
  3. Pages
  4. Hover the item you want to check out, and from the context-menu (arrow-down next to the filename), choose "Discard Check Out"

It is also possible to perform this routine through SharePoint Designer.
