## FAQ

### Database is locked (SQLITE_BUSY) Error

This error happens when the wallet database is opened by more than one process at the same time.
By default, Pactus node starts the wallet in locked mode, which prevents external tools
(like pactus-wallet) from accessing the wallet.
This avoids conflicts, but it can cause this error if another tool tries to connect.

To allow external access, change this [config](../get-started/configuration.md) and restart the node:

```toml
[wallet]
lock_mode = false
```
