I have an indesign file for Tonic Solfa songbook. I am adding new songs. One of the page can't be edited. Nothing can be selected. I have checked the Master page. But everything is in order. Is there any way to locked a sepcific page? If there is, please someone tell me how to unlock it. I can move on with my project.

With the locked page as the active page check the layers panel to see if any of the layers are locked (you will see a padlock next to any locked layers—click on the padlock(s) to unlock). Also look under the Object menu and select "Unlock All on Spread" if that option is available (which it will only be if there are locked items on the active page).

One other thought. You said you checked the Master Pages. Are you aware that all master page items are locked by default on their corresponding document pages (with the exception of Primary Text Frames)? With the locked page as the active page go under the Pages Panel pull-down menu and choose "Override All Master Page Items" to unlock any items which might be locked in this manner.
