I didn’t find a fast way to lock all forums in phpBB via the admin control panel (ACP), thus I messed a bit with the database, and soon found out that this query does the trick:
UPDATE [phpbb_]forums SET forum_status=1
Just make sure you replace [phpbb_] with the database prefix you chose.
To unlock, use:
UPDATE [phpbb_]forums SET forum_status=0
NB: this will unlock ALL forums, even those who were locked before you locked them all.
