What do you mean by "locked"?  It should be an executable file.

Type this to run it:

./a.out

If you want an executable file named something other than a.out, either
rename it after the compiler creates it, or use the -o option that Peter
Langfelder pointed out to you (and that you quoted back in your reply).

Anywhere you wish to.  Your compiler is apparently working and creating
an executable file.  What do you want to do next?
