Sorry for not simplifying this for you...

When you create or edit a field, use either the tool you used to create/edit the field or the Select Object tool (on the Advanced Editing toolbar). Open a context menu (Right click on Windows or Contrl + click on the Mac). From the menu options, select Properties.

The Locked checkbox appears on all the tabs in the Field Properties dialog box in the lower left corner.
