Which brand and model do you have? Many manuals are available through the manufacturer (Whirlpoool, KitchenAid, LG); appliances sold by Sears often have manuals at Manage My Life: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals .
The Control Lock is a child lock (to keep the program from being changed in use or starting a machine up with a problem load). To unlock it, you will need to press and hold one or two buttons (together) for 3+ seconds. The appropriate button(s) will have some text or icons indicating the feature; however, it is usually in a very small font. For some brands, press and hold the Pause/Cancel button. On LG models, it could be the Wrinkle Care button.
Please add a comment with your model and I'll see if I have your manual and give you the control lock toggle button(s) information.
I hope this helps.
