I read sometime back, that there is bug in this forum and account can be locked if you use Secret question feature.
It's not a bug. And he didn't use the Secret question (just check the SecLog).

PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT

A friend changed his password and tried logging in. And he got the message your account has been lock for security reasons. How would he unlock.

Account can be locked through the link which is sent to the registered email,this feature is added to stop using the hacked account so your friend maybe clicked that link accidentally?

Then just follow the standard (longish) procedure on Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords, and see  @sncc’s [Guide] Bitcointalk account security for further details. The key resides on having previously sent a signed BTC message that you can prove as associated with the account (see the above references for details).

he changed email and password cos of some hack attempts
Got it. Normally, you/he would have to sign a message from a staked address and send it to one of the admins.

However, I've checked your/yours friend post history and I couldn't find a single mention of a Bitcoin address that you own. So recovering it may be way harder than the normal.
