This assumes you can get the wrench close enough to the admin. If they are in another country, one that is outside of your jurisdiction you'll have a hard time applying your wrench.

The wrench need only be applied to whomever tells the admin to unlock the archive. In a manner that the admin is likely to accept the request.
