No way. You can run sp_who2 to find the guilty and KILL his process. But that is not a solution. You have to talk with developers about this problem.
You are asking solution for an open queston, it is hard to state unless we see a code or reasons behind such locking - http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/tools...rrency-locking-with-asp-net-applications.aspx and http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/reducing_locks_p1.aspx locking tips & http://www.sql-server-performance.com/articles/audit/index_locking_options_p1.aspx if during indexing.
