I'm doing a post for beginners tomorrow where unlocking the background is the first step so I've added that as an option. Rory-thanks for the Alt double-click workaround.

I also use 'alt + double-click' to do it too. This just unlocks it without giving you the dialogue box to rename it. If, however, you do want to rename the background layer, then just plain double-clicking will be the faster option. Great tip Corey. I also use ‘alt + double-click’ to do it too.

I've always wondered how to unlock it. My workaround has been to just make a duplicate layer from the background and edit that. That actually works just fine and ensures that the background layer - my original - doesn't get screwed up. That's probably why Adobe locked it in the first place. Nice!
