A page has been checked out by someone who I am not able to contact. I need to update the page but cannot check it out until the current check-out is finished.
How can I force the current check-out to be discarded?

If you have administrative rights, it is possible to override the check-out via the View All Site Content page:
check out, and from the context-menu
(arrow-down next to the filename),
choose “Discard Check Out”
It is also possible to perform this routine through SharePoint Designer.
