I think Dreamweaver has a proprietary locking mechanism for files saved and opened within it. I don't use Dreamweaver so I don't know how it works, it may be a simple HTML tag hidden somewhere, or it might stick a data header somewhere before the <html> tag which would not show up in a text editor, regardless of the fact this might prevent validation.

Have you simply tried opening it in a text editor? I can't see why that wouldn't work.
